Ultima™ IV: Quest of the Avatar
Description
Prepare yourself for a grand adventure! Ultima™ IV, sixteen times larger than Ultima™ III, is a milestone in computer gaming. Lord British has produced a game to challenge not only your physical and mental skills, but the true fabric of your character.
The evil triad of Mondain, Minax, and the hellspawn Exodus have been vanquished and peace reigns throughout the land of Britannia. Evil yet abounds, but in isolated pockets and in the hearts of men. A new age awaits the coming of one who can conquer evil on all frontiers through mastery of both magic and the use of force. Daemons, dragons, and long-dead wizards still plague the countryside and must be destroyed. The seeker on the path of the Avatar will face hostile groups composed of mixed enemy types and will survive such encounters only by strategic use of weapons and terrain. Earthly victories over seemingly impossible odds lead to the final conflict, where the ultimate challenge - the self - awaits.

Doesn't start - Stuck at main menu
Hey, GOG, do me a favor and identify which games require DOSBox to run, that way I can make sure not to buy any of that non-working garbage.

Old school fun
Great game. I keep seeing people complain about the controls but I didn't have any problems. Never checked a manual either, just some cursory experimentation and I had everything down in minutes. This game reminds me a lot of a mix between roguelikes and dungeon crawlers.
