PC Player (Germany)
Mit bahnbrechender 3D-Technik und elegantem Spieldesign setzte Origin letztes Jahr reihenweise Maßstäbe. Der faszinierende Dungeon-Trip "Ultima Underworld" konnte Rollenspiel-Abstinenzler und Fantasy-Freaks gleichermaßen begeistern. Hat der mit Spannung erwartete Nachfolger das Zeug zur neuen Referenz? Die PC PLAYER-Redaktion marschierte in die Unterwelt und ward wochenlang nicht mehr gesehen...

Power Play
Rund ein Jahr ist es nun her, daß sich eine kleine Programmiercrew "Blue Sky Produktion" anschickte, der Spielewelt zu beweisen, wie ein zünftiges Labyrinth auszusehen hat. Unter den schützenden Fittichen von Origin fummelte das Team um Doug Church und Paul Neurath ein 3-D-Dungeon zusammen, das sich in Windeseile an die Spitze der Charts setzte, tonnenweise Preise sowie hohe Wertungen einheimste. Die POWER PLAY kürte das innovative Meisterwerk sogar zum "Spiel des Jahres 1992": Ultima Underworld: The Stygian Abyss. Jetzt gibt's den Nachfolger zu kaufen, Ultima Underworlds 2: Labyrinth of Worlds.

Quandary
My advice, don't miss this one if you are a roleplaying fan. It's totally absorbing with many 'treasures' to find, people to meet, places to visit and quests to fulfil. Added to this it has a story that leads you logically through the adventure and draws you into the gameworld.

Abandonia
The game is very fun to play, and is very similar to UW1. If you've played the first one (availiable on Abandonia) then I reccomend you play this one. The only thing I could find wrong with this game was the interface. Unlike UW1, the buttons are at the bottom of the screen. If you're like me, and have played UW1 every year since you got it (pathetic, I know), you might find it a bit annoying. Overall, it's a brilliant RPG that should be in anyone's collection.
