I am not gonna lie. My first Ultima experience was with the NES version (an adaptation of Ultima III: Exodus). It was an engrossing experience, made more so by the fact that I really didn't understand my basic purpose. Simply building a party that could survive the many encounters you had in the game was a challenge all its own.
Geezer has it right though when he says its tough going back to the early Ultimas. After experiencing Ultima VI (my first PC Ultima) I look upon the first few and cannot get past the crude graphics and gameplay. Will I ever go back and play them? Maybe at one point, but I am hoping that by the time I get to them, there might be a remake. :laugh:
