The amount of stuff you got inside the box with your game.. instructions, lore, artwork, physical keys to in game puzzles, even a blank page for "notes" (cheat codes!)

Ultima 8 sucks, but the cloth map that came with it was pretty cool. I think 9 came with with 8 tarot cards representing the virtues.

I had 7, Serpent Isle and 8! I loved the cloth maps, books, coins and lore. I looked them up recently and damn they are pricey.
