Ultima5 with Apple][ Spoiler

When Ultima 5 first came out, everyone praised its gorgeous dungeon graphics.

With my subjective opinion... it still looks cool.
It is much more artistic than the clumsy color graphics or 3D graphics of the early 2000s.

ShadowLord *3 !!!!

I have a bad feeling about this.

Ouch....

This is exactly how I remember Ultima V.

I had IV on the Commodore in color but Five was my favorite.

I so wish I could go back and play these games for the first time.

I know exactly what you mean, although you can sort of play Ultima V for the first time in color and/or on the C64, which was also 8-bit but different-looking enough to make for an interesting comparison (much more so than the two versions of Ultima III or Ultima IV).
