| | Ultima - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The first three games (Ultima I-III), the "Age of Darkness" trilogy, are the typical "kill the evil overlord" fantasy games. | | | Console versions of Ultima have allowed further exposure to the series, especially in Japan where the games have been bestsellers and were accompanied by several tie-in products including manga based on Ultima. | | | Ultima: Runes of Virtue (Game Boy) — Non-canonical, action based gameplay and puzzle solving. |

| | Ultima |
| | Possibly one of the longest-lived series in PC game history, the first 'prelude' Ultima game, called 'Akalabeth', was produced back in the early 80's when computers were only just making their way into the home. | | | Ultima Underworld is a brilliant first person RPG, with more depth and character interaction than is reached by most first person, or even RPG games. | | | There are also two other 'Ultima' games, called 'Worlds of Ultima'. |

| | Paladin's Keep: Library |
| | As for effects, they are average, though at several points throughout the game, there is digitized speech for the first time in an Ultima game. | | | Cooking with fire, breaking into buildings, hunting, and using the various devices in the game's environment are but a few examples of what you can do and need to do in order to complete the game. | | | Corollary: Few games have delved so deep as to make the player question his or her system of beliefs, and become more spiritual as a result of playing. |

| | Wired News: Chaos in Britannia: Ultima Faces Protests |
| | Ultima Online, a massive multiplayer role-playing game that takes place in a fantasy universe named "Britannia" was released on 25 September and boasts 65,000 players already. | | | More than 200 players (many of whom attest their love for the game) have signed a petition listing their grievances, some penning small manifestos of how they think the game rules should be altered, as well as threatening lawsuits for breach of contract. | | | Complaints range from overloaded servers and lag times to allegations that the game was unfinished when it was released out of beta, to anger about the occasional disappearance of carefully created objects and game rules that allow "evil characters" (thieves, magicians, cheaters) to thrive. |

| | Hacki's Ultima Page - Nitpicks in the whole Ultima series |
| | In Ultima IV the guards are refreshingly weak; even a 2nd level shepherd with a sling and Iolo with a bow for an accomplice can defeat a dozen guards in small packs - they seem about as threatening as the common Orc. | | | In the Ultima chronology it seems that no Ultima takes place more than 200 years after the first so it is likely that 1000 years have not passed since the gem’s destruction and the events of Ultima VII. | | | On the Ultima VII map, the bay isn’t connected to the sea anymore (though it is in the game). |

| | Like the original game, Ultima Worlds Online: Origin will be a massively multiplayer persistent-universe role-playing game in which players create and control their own characters in the fantasy world of Britannia. | | | Instead of allowing freeform player-killing, Britannia will possess special player-vs.-player arena zones in which players may duel with each other. | | | Players will be encouraged to group with each other more often, as the game promises both overt and subtle rewards for social adventurers. |
