I think I was around 9 or 10 at the time, so you see, I'm a lifetime Ultima fan as well.
The last of the Ultima series I played was Ultima 9 which pales in comparison to U7 IMHO. It was kinda sad when the game ended though. It marked the end of an era in a way since Origin Systems got bought over by EA and what with Richard Garriot leaving the company. They sure don't make games like they used to. [img]smile.gif[/img]

No, they sure don't make games like they used to...
I'm the same as you, I started out on Ultima 4 on my old Atari 130XE, then moved backwards to Ultima 3. I was about 7 at the time, so I'm a young-starter like you [img]smile.gif[/img] Things really took off when my Dad bought a PC and we got Ultima 6. That game had to be THE most innovative, technologically developed CRPG ever (in relation to what technology was available at the time). Great stuff.
I bought Ultima 9 a couple of years back, I still havn't completed it (in fact I havn't even gotten past Moonglow). I thought it was the most God-awful hunk of dogsh*t I've ever played. It's just not an Ultima in my books (and this is coming from a man who really really enjoyed U8) [img]smile.gif[/img] Ah well, I still crank up U7 every so often to get an Ultima kick.
