You start out about to be sacrificed by gargoyles.

Your old friends Shamino, Dupre and Iolo show up to rescue you. Shamino (in the middle) resembles Richard Garriott aka Lord British, the creator of Ultima.

Three gargoyles must be defeated by the throne.

Talking to Lord British.

Exploring the castle. Night time and darkness reduce your visibility.

Under the castle lies the sewers, the first dungeon in the game.

Looking at horses in the town of Britain. I don't currently have enough gold to buy one.

The famous moral choices

The initial fight against the gargoyles in Lord British's throne room

Chatting with Iolo. Remember: in the FM Towns version, ALL dialogue is fully VOICED!

Hmm... nice decoration. Whaddaya think, Shamino?

House interiors have incredible detail

You can take whatever you see. But you'll lose karma if you steal!

There is no "world map" in Ultima VI. The huge world is completely seamless. We are in the wilderness already

The world of Ultima VI is not only huge - it is meticulously detailed. You can talk to anyone, and everyone have something interesting to say

Bartender... hic!!... gimme... a mug o' beer!!

FM Towns version can be played in Japanese, with Japanese voice acting. Which is, frankly, better than the English one! :)

Snowy mountains... how romantic...

It's night. The Avatar is lost in the deep forest...

You have to put in a stupid save disk. How annoying...

And now the proper title screen...

If your idea of entertainment is watching people shave on TV, no wonder you had no choice but become an Avatar

What the hell...

Gargoyles want to kill you. You forgive them in the end, though

Ahhh, I'm hungry...
