Summary

Ultima's Finest Hour? You be the judge.

The Good

Almost everything. Story, graphics, sound ... I still load this one up and play it now and again on my dedicated-DOS machine. If you ask most people what their favorite Ultima is, this usually tops the list.

I also liked how an add-on was created that didn't affect the main plot, but if you completed it, gave you some awesome items and more experience.

The Bad

Hmm. Not much. :) It is very picky about running under DOS. Better have most of your conventional memory free. It's games like this that justify my dedicated-DOS machine.

The Bottom Line

One of the best Ultimas, if not THE best.
