Topic	Ultima may be the most forgotten important video game series in history
action52 03/15/24 4:00:47 AM #25:	Sufferedphoenix posted... Yeah never played it never seen videos or pics of the game. However when I saw this topic I said to myself isn't that the original rpg video game? Don't even know where I learned this. Would any of the early ones still hold up today? Ultima 7 holds up the best IMO. The graphics are primitive but it's a surprisingly big and detailed open world. If you can get it working it's a lot of fun still. As you go back, it gets more and more primitive. I absolutely love Ultima 4 and recommend it if you have the patience but it is VERY obtuse and the UI can be a huge pain. The beginning is also extremely frustrating at first. Ultima 5 and 6 gradually improve on the open world. Really this series built the open world RPG as we know it. If you go from 1 to 7 you can basically see them building it up until it's basically got all the things we associate with open world RPGs like Fallout and Elder Scrolls. And with many if not most of those mechanics, Ultima was the first one to do them. --- "It's Brockin' time." Erin Brockovich, Erin Brockovich <cite>action52 posted [p:979377678] in Ultima may...
