Ultima™ Underworld 1+2

I fight against the controls instead of the enemies. I remember how jealous Amiga-owners were back in the 90's because of this ms-dos only game. We had to wait for a few years until the decent "Ambermoon" - first rpg on our machine with that graphics. But it switched to a turn-based game during battles (wise). Do not waste your time with that one unless for nostalgic reasons.

I seriously by no means can understand why this was such a huge success back when it came out. The graphics were called "revolutionary", but compared to the "step by step" 90 degrees pseudo-3D RPGs like Eye of the Beholder this looks atrocious. Smoothly scrolling 3D games have aged very badly. Combine this with the horrible sound (best turned off entirely) with very clunky and bad controls. Thanks, but no thanks, I'm sticking with the Beholder Trilogy!!!

This is an ancient first-person RPG that predates even Betrayal at Krondor by a year. Utterly obnoxious to play in every way by modern standards. Also by ~1996 standards (see: Strife). Honestly, even just the simple fact that S doesn't make you reverse is enough to drive me insane (you have to either turn around or click using the right function). Ancient video games are a lot harder to get into than ancient movies. Watching Nosferatu or Battleship Potemkin doesn't take much effort, and they're still enjoyable. Ancient video games like this require a ton of effort and unless you're really really really into this i wouldn't recommend it.

A failure of a rpg that proves crpgs suck random hit fighting: oh boy im prob going to get some heat hear but the truth must be known. im trying to like crpgs all my life iv tried but the random hit battle system always kill my joy of every single one. sure i would understand if my repeated deaths was to lack of lvl and gear, butt dieing to the fact that you cant land a single hit while your foe hits you all the time or kills you in 1 is unforgivable. iv died so many times on the first floor that its not even funny.(iv died from a bat...with me at full hp btw) i read the instructions im doing everything right..but my failure is not to my own shortcomings no no.....its cus i keep on rolling a 1 (i feel like this every time i play a crpg) a poor food system (i don't even know ware this went wrong) (this dos not affect my score) so im reading the instructions it says you need food to heal and fight off hunger...hu...neet....or what i should say is "it would of" the game tells you what at first seems at random of when your hungry when a simple food meter would of worked better (there are games that did this) (im still trying to play this game ) even thou i hate the random battle fighting ( d20 anyone?) im still trying to enjoy this game but i have my limits and im about to go final fantasy... and summon Bahamut to obliterate this game

should have more altima games and wizardry games
