Might and Magic sweetnes
The box set includes the 4 most recent editions to the Might and Magic series. Might and magic 6 was amazing and 7 was probabily my personal favorite because if its close art resemblance to Heroes of Might and Magic 3. Might and Magic 8 and 9 are also good games but I suggest you download the patch for 8 and 9. The games have alot of problems that the patches fix up. 7 can be played without ...

There is an easy way to run Ultima VII
If you look up Exult on the internet, you will find a platform designed specifically to run Ultima VII and Serpent Isle. I just found at sourceforge.net a way to run Ultima VIII but I haven't tried it yet. Can't wait! I LOVE these games. They really are in depth and entertaining. I spent forever playing Ultima VI on my old 386 computer, never finishing it!!! Now I can finish it on my new ...

Ultima Online: The 8th Age

Windows | Electronic Arts, 2005

Great RPG Game
Its a great game to play you can play on your own or with others. This game doesn't have a set plot and the game never really ends unless you want it to. Your character can progress in any way you wish(warrior, mage, potion maker, tailor,tamer, you name it). Now it does take a bit of time to advance but that seems realistic to me. So don't get frustated and keep playing any you'll find that you ...

Baldur's Gate 2: Ultimate Collection (Shadows of Amn and Throne of Bhaal)

Windows | Vivendi Universal, 2003

Awesome game
This game is excellent, especially for those who don't care much for FPS. I would encourage interested parties to check out ebay for the game though, since Amazon and its legions tend to charge a premium (and I love Amazon). There are a few vendors on Ebay that specialize in low/no postage, brand new vintage games. Anyway, if you're keen to save a little bread.

Never got the attention it deserved.
I'm glad I got the chance to play this game for a few months. The story was great fun and the gameplay was unique to the MMO genre. The servers are shutting down in February 2009, so check the game website for the latest news. Richard Garriot crafted a wonderful game before departing the development team after a year of live service. The GMs in this MMO have been the most fun to play with and ...

Windows | Electronic Arts, 2006

Great!
That was the first MMORPG I ever had and it still makes a lot of fun. Not long before, the adventure thing got a little bit lost, but now again more people go out to the unending world of UO, and that makes much more fun again too meet people in dungeons

The Ultimate Wizardry Archives

Windows | Interplay Productions

revolutionary!
Some players to whom graphics is all important should not bother with this game, with extremely few exceptions, every wall in this game looks the exact same. that can lead to some confusion so the automap feature which was included in wizardry gold was a huge bonus. the neat thing about wiz 7 (the greatest rpg of all time) is that your maps become more detailed as your character's skill in ...

Ultima 9: Ascension

Windows | Electronic Arts

great game!
okay, so i've read the reviews here 2 years after i've purchased this game--just to see what people think. i probably have the slowest computer of the this lot and have never had a problem with this game. i have a 466mhz celeron and no graphics card (bought the computer in 1999)and the game runs perfect for me. it's not choppy, it's never crashed, and no bugs. maybe i've just been lucky. as ...

Ultima: Quest of the Avatar (Nintendo NES)

Nintendo NES | FCI

The ruthless Triad of Evil has been vanquished and peace no reigns in the land. But without the threat of danger the people have become corrupt. Darkness dwells in their hearts and minds. The countryside is plagued by dragons, trolls, and long-dead wizards. Only an Avatar, a shining example of heroism, can destroy the monsters and conquer the internal wickedness with his mastery of magic and weapons. Become the Avatar! Save Britannia! And master ...

Ultima I: Exodus

Nintendo NES | FCI

Different from the home computer version
This is actually the NES adaptation of the home computer game Ultima III: Exodus, but is called Ultima I for NES since it was the first Ultima adapted for Nintendo. Confusing, isn't it. I have played both the Atari 8-bit (which I owned and enjoyed for many years) and NES version of this game (which I only rented to see the difference). The graphics for the Atari 8-bit were very crude, as you ...

Ultima Underworld II: Labyrinth of Worlds

DOS | Origin Systems Inc

The game takes place one year after the events of Ultima 7: The Black Gate. To celebrate the defeat of the Guardian, Lord British invites the Avatar and his companions to his castle. However, in the night of the feast the Guardian attacks again, encasing the castle in a giant gem of blackrock. Deep in the sewers of the castle, another blackrock gem resides, being a teleporter to other worlds controlled by the Guardian. Now you, the Avatar, must ...

Ultima Online: Age of Shadows

Windows | Electronic Arts, 2003

Surprisingly Addictive, Immersive, Absorbing MMORPG
Of course Ultima Online (UO) is nothing new to the world of online gaming. In fact, it is probably one of the most succesful MMORPGs (ie, online role playing games with a persistent, massive universe and a large number of other players) in commercial terms. That may seem surprising initially because when compared with some of its competitors like Sony's Everquest or Mythic's Dark Age of ...

Commodore 64 | Origin Systems, Inc.

Possibly the best game ever
When I got this game back in 1988 I couldn't get enough of it. Oh how I miss the simplicity. Games have come a long way but I have yet to enjoy one as much as have this game. Beware of my nostalgia though. This may have been the best game ever at the time, but oh how times have changed. If they ever decided to update this game with modern graphics and sound, then it again would be the best ...

Ultima VIII: Pagan (Includes Speech Pack)

DOS | Origin Systems Inc.

The CD-Harddrive edition of Ultima VIII was released more or less simultaneously with the standard floppy disk version. The difference is that it contains a CD that already includes the game and speech pack (sold separately for the floppy disk version). It must be installed on HD though, hence the name. Apart from the different box design everything else stayed the same.

Origin Systems

My First Game !!
This is the first real computer game I ever played, back around 1991, on my first PC, an IBM PS2. I still remember some moments in the game, when I would get a glimpse or orks in the darkness in the tunnel ahead, late at night, and chills would run up my spine. As another reviewer noted, this game is very varied in species of monsters, magic, and weapons. It came out when there was no "online ...

Ultima Online: Gold Edition is a good buy!
I, actually, already own a copy of Ultima Online: Samurai Empire Expansion that I purchased online from Direct2Drive but I did order a brand new Ultima Online: Gold Edition that I bought from CDROM USA from the Amazon.com website and ordered it with expedited shipping. They were very punctual and arrived at my home within 5 business days. It's in Mint Condition and they took very good care in ...

There is plenty for the retro gamer !
First of all : You will go through pain playing these games on anything more sophisticated than Win98 and MS-DOS. And they are old... REALLY old. So don't expect anything fancy. Take the Bards' Tale for example : IMHO, the PC-version is uglier than the C64-version including sound. You are a hardcore fan and don't fear some torture to get what you want ? Fine, here you have it. Remember, those are ...

Ultima VI: The False Prophet

Nintendo Super NES | FCI

Rocks!
For those of you who like "linear" RPGs, where your path is set and NPCs tell you everything you must do, look elsewhere. If you like to wander around, get lost in the world exploring and fighting, this is the game for you. HUGE map, with 2 different 'worlds' to explore, loads of caves, tons of monsters, hidden weapons, spells, etc. (the pirate treasure side quest is truly awesome; you look for ...
