shadowelite7: I recently installed Ultima I and its manual. Apparently, the manual doesn't contain the list of controls. Where can I find them? Is there a command in the game to show me a list. Since I just got all of the Ultima games today. Would you mind sharing with me the control schemes for those games too (or if the manuals include them)?
Thank you
I stole this list from Stevedog13 who created for someone else who asked the same question here on gog.com
