Yup. ^_^
I'm a regular mecha freak.

I love mecha stuff as well.

Because it's sold on Amazon, Ultima Underworld - The Stygian Abyss is now not available for download.

We made a mistake while evaluating this games status. Download is now back up again.

I have Vista and I'm trying to play the game through DosBox. Two problems. One the game is waaay too slow. I think I can fix that by altering cycles, though. However, the solution to the next problem continues to elude me. Much of the screen is black. I have to run my cursor back and forth to see anything. It's like I'm wiping the blackness away if that makes any sense. Anybody know what to do about that?

To increase the cycles press CTRL+F12 (F+11 to decrease them). Around 9000 should be enough for Ultima Underworld.
For the second problem, open the file dosbox.conf and set right a the beginning output= to ddraw so it looks like this output=ddraw and see if that helps it.

one of the best games of all time, I'd rather adventure in underworld over the elder scrolls series any day!

I played this game as a child. Sadly it's not well known today given it's age. It did have that scary theme to it, especially if you didn't know what you were doing.

Does anyone know where the screen shots on the game page for Ultima Underworld I came from? It seems to be much higher resolution than I am seeing playing this game in DosBox!

The screenshots in the review are not enlarged and so the edges have become undetectable because of the tiny size.
