	The Ultimate Handbook - Beginner - Spirit of the Game
		Ultimate players, by their own reckoning, are among the more courtly athletes.
		The purpose of the rules of Ultimate is to provide a guideline which describes the way the game is played.
		It is assumed that no Ultimate player will intentionally violate the rules; there are no harsh penalties for inadvertent infractions but, rather, a method for resuming play in a manner which simulated what would most likely have occurred had there been no infraction.

		It is the essence of Ultimate - the cheers, the comeraderie, the extracurricular activities.
		Highly competitive play is encouraged, but never at the expense of the bond of mutual respect between players, adherence to the agreed-upon rules of the game, or the basic joy of play.
		Rather than dictate what Spirit of the Game is or should be, it is up to each player to do so for him or herself within the context of the teams he or she plays with and against.

		As well as writing better games than their contemporaries, they were also amongst the most professional of the early software companies - positively oozing class compared with the rather amateurish and seedy image of the rest of the fledgling games industry.
		Ultimate had a reputation for secrecy and had, by accident or design, cultivated a mysterious aura that increased the games buying publics' interest in the company.
		Adverts, except for the first batch of games, were teasers in the true sense of the word giving little away except for the name and the format.

		The Packers sputtered on offense throughout the first three quarters and clearly missed star tailback Ahman Green, who was knocked out of the game with a rib injury in the second quarter.
		At St. Louis, Favre, who broke his thumb early in the game, threw two touchdown passes, but it wasn't enough as the Rams beat the Packers for the second straight time.

		During the 1980s Rare (formerly Ultimate: Play the Game), forged ahead with a portfolio that would put many developers to shame and helped to ignite a golden age for the Britsoft scene.

		Throughout the game, Rare have sprinkled a multitude of film homage’s that nod to Kubrick’s “A Clockwork Orange” in the opening cut-scene (more milk, anyone?) to whole missions based on Saving Private Ryan and The Matrix, which are still amusing to play through even to this day...
