Ultima: Collection: I-VI Series w/ No Artwork

Ultima I-VI Series Collection PC CD 6 dungeon crawler role-playing RPG games! Type: Game Platform: DOS Publisher: Origin Released: 1993 Media: CD ULTIMA: COLLECTION: I-VI SERIES W/ NO ARTWORKAt last, by popular demand, Origin's venerable role-playing I-VI series is available all on one CD-ROM. Most of it, anyway. The Ultima I-VI Series Collection is a praiseworthy historical document, an excellent value. For this collection presents 6 of the most important role-playing games ever designed on a single disc.The Ultima I-VI Series Collection contains the first six games in the Ultima series. Many of these remain timeless and incredible role-playing games, while some haven't aged as well. Ultima II and III also feel pretty ancient. With somber-looking CGA graphics chock-full of drab black, gray, cyan, and magenta, these two games are much more cumbersome to play than their descendants.Ultima IV is the most tightly woven game in the series. With clearly defined goals, an epic plot, and a powerful game engine, Ultima IV is a classic. Even so, Ultima V is its hands-down superior, with a more streamlined engine, superb graphics that retain their charm to this day, and an awesome story worthy of the Ultima tradition. Ultima VI marks perhaps the greatest graphical leap the Ultima series has ever accomplished, with the introduction of 256-color MCGA graphics. The scale of the world is many times greater than even the vast Ultima V, and the story, centered around the seemingly malicious race of Gargoyles, is thought-provoking and exciting.It's a package worth owning for any number of reasons, not the least of which is that half of these games are still perfectly worth playing for the first time, or playing all over again.For DOS/Windows (via DOSBox) [*Please review compatibility/platform sections in 'What You Get']
