I have never played any of these games before and only watched a video or two about Ultima Underworld.
I do know that these were very significant computer game releases!

Good thing this is happening during the sale, I just picked up all of the about-to-be delisted games for under $5 now.
I had to create a new wish since the staff aren't able to edit wishes -

https://www.gog.com/wishlist/games/ultima_underworld_12_rereleases ; if you wouldn't mind changing out that top wish with the typo for the one I linked here, I'd appreciate it.

I've heard that back in the day the Ultima Underworld backend was considered a legit competitor to id Software's DOOM engine, but it just didn't get as much marketing.

Thanks. It's fixed.

And here are the links, for those who are new to the thread. Please vote if you want the games to be available on the store again one day:

The game influended ID Software specially in the technical aspects. Apparently Carmack saw the demo in a convention around 1990 and he said that he was able to create a faster texture mapper. Also it is said that Paul Neurath and Romero had some kind of telephone conversations about the concept in 1991. Nothing deep though.

Technologically Ultima Underworld wasn't any joke for that time. And as a finished game and a simulation it is one of the most immersive games ever. I always saw it like the granddaddy of games like Deus Ex, Bioshock, and of course both System Shock games. In fact The original System Shock used a newer version of the Engine.
Should I be worried the other ultima games will be delisted?

Hard to say what you should be worried about. If you keep a wishlist, go through it and buy everything you feel like you absolutely have to have.

pocococo: i guess this is as good a time as any to shamelessly plug my UltimaHacks patches, which add mouse-look (and a few other little features) to Underworld 1 and 2:

This is a nifty thing, especially the mouselook, thanks! :)

Thank you for the notice! Grabbed Ultima Underworld 1+2 since they look interesting and I might give them a try. It's a real shame when classics like these get delisted from GOG.

Another vote of appreciation for having a sale at the time of delisting.
