I used to have the floppy disk versions and STILL have the cloth maps from the first 2 games. I own all the old school Ultima games still. Pitty they never let him make UO2 or UOAX, UO was great for it's day but just too dated now, if UO2 or UOAX ever came out I'd probably still be playing.

Whenever I hear Toto on the radio or Genesis, it brings me right back. Those were the good ol' days indeed. Used to play Ultima I, II and III for hours on my Apple ][+.

Used to play the original series with cloth map close by & lose hours of homework time exploring. Ahhhhh, those were the days. Man, I’m old!

I'd still have to say that the last Ultima 'trilogy' (6, 7, 7 part II) were among the best in the series.... not that it stopped me from buying Ultima IX.

I had it on pre-order and cancelled it after playing the open beta for a few hours. And now the game itself is slated for closure on Feb 28th. It’s a pity that Tabula Rasa was so mediocre.
