In my opinion Ultima is a great game, sure the grapics are abit outdated, and if you go behind a building you cant see the guy, but its a good game! Its quite realistic with the explodeing oil flasks and the non-magical weaponery, and you drown if you fall in the water (who wouldn't if they were wearing heavy armor and fell into deep water?) Even thoough it has terrabley outdated grapics its a good game. Also Untima On-line (its not included in the pack) is very good.

Great games, but not user friendly.

I was hooked when I first played U6, Ultima 7 was complete bliss, at first you will feel a little frustrated, lack of manuals, dos required for play, but all that you need is patience, all the manuals are on the CD, wich includes walkthrough's for when/if you get stumped, and there is a program called MOSLO, wich slows your computer down to make the game more playable, Also you'll need ISP for tech help, getting sound for anything other than pc sound or a sound blaster compt.

I've only played 6,7,8, because these games have the best graphics of the series, and some of the best stories, these games are fully addictive, you'll find your self playing for hour's on end, these games capture your emagination, and keeps you thinking about the game when your not even playing it, I strongly recomend for people who know how to use DOS and like a good decent adventure role playing game.

This may be the wrong place for this, but I can't find another. Do you have, or will you soon have a version for Windows XP?
Thank-you.

Ultima is the best overall RPG series ever made.

Ultima 7 (both Black Gate and Serpent Isle) is definitely the best of the series, having the best story and the most interactive world. 4, 5, 6, and 8 are great also. You also get 1, 2, and 3 in this collection, but they're really not worth playing. If you love RPGs, and you've never played any of these games before, you're missing out!

Here is a chance to run under Linux!

Great series. My all time favorite was Ultima 4. With Wintendo 3.1/95 as the requirement for the OS, I'm thinking of trying to make this work with WINE under Linux (maybe even use transgaming if that fails).

Then I can make it work with my MythTV Mythgames. My kids are in for a surprise :-)

Hard to Use.

I never got into the ultima title so I thought this would be a great way to get into it. It advertised it was the complete first eight titles in one. However it was only the first three adventures and they are uncompatible with the newer computer systems despite the claim it would be. My computer locked up every time I tried to play it. Over all I found it very disappointing.

beware dont buy this game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Man. I have played and re-played this set of wonderful programs so many times i can't begin to tally the wasted years of my life. O.k., they weren't wasted. These games are the shining diamonds of the beginning of what true gaming was. Dated, absolutely. Great? WITHOUT A DOUBT. Any RPG fan of today needs this in their collection. A good tweaker can figure out how to get all of these to run in windows , too! Don't go without the ATLAS, though! These games lead you through a lot of territory.

The Best Games... Ever!

If you are really into RPGs that have a good line and plot, this is the one for you! The graphics may not be the greatest, but never judge a book by it's cover! These games will really get you playing for 50+ hours with no stopping. However, this collection sadly lacks two things: Some of the Underworlds and the Worlds and also the fact that it may run too slow for your computer causing you to have a bunch of NPCs running 900mph. Over all, I really reccomend this collection to any beginning Ultima player as well as any old time fan.

technical problems don't mar the finest RPG's ever made...

The Ultima Series is older than Pac-Man. All the Ultimas from 0 (Akalabeth) to 8 are here, and no matter what anybody else says, they are, collectively, the most influential works in the history of computer gaming. They inspired every other RPG since 1980, including the ever-popular console RPG's such as Final Fantasy. By way of Warren Specter's Ultima Underwold games (unfortunately not included), they inspired first-person shooters from Wolfenstein 3D onward. The quality of these games shows why their maker Richard Garriot is one of the greatest game designers ever.

Be forewarned: Ultima 7 and 8 will probably not work on modern PC's without a significant amount of tweaking by a knowledgeable person. And the animation in the older games will run very fast. Nevertheless, they are well worth every frustration.
