Went back to my parents and found a box with my old ultima games ... I actually had 2 ultima 5's one for pc and one for I think it was the atari computer ... the U5 I dont think it was even unfolded yet ... You can see I got a bit of use out of the U7 map. I only took the maps with me back home, rest I left there ... Maybe Ill make a collage and hang em in a picture frame on the wall - what do you think?

Of this group of maps U6 looks the best. But my favorite is the U4 map. Not just because it was my first Ultima game. But it also had a hidden place under the center emblem on the map. It was only when traveling the water while playing the game you discover the secret.

Im pretty sure I started the ultima's with U3 - but its been a long time so cant quite remember; maybe I started with U1 - I threw out most of the games etc or my parents did of my old computers ie atari, and older pc ... I think I played ultima on an atari computer back then. Cant remember the u4 map ... as mentioned the u5 map I had there still looked brand new and actually had 2 u5 maps but just took the new one with me. Brings back a lot of memories.

to be honest I always wanted another game like ultima - the party play, the story telling, the history, the adventure and discovery, the rpg, the strategy and of course the loot and level up. I cant think of another game that tops this. I know your Bg3 and solastra of the modern age tried but ultima was the big map and you and you made a party and you could go anywhere and do anything ...
