Ultima™ IV: Quest of the Avatar

reliving my 80s childhood lush game

RPG is my favor and this one is one of the game must try once in a life time

couldnt start game inside of menu.

It's hard to imagine how a game so old could contain so many elements we consider advanced today. The choice system which affects NPC behaviour, the massive open world, the various modes of transport - it's all here and the game is perfectly balanced. You'll need a pen and paper handy as the game doesn't hold your hand (no arrows or quest reminders here) however this just makes the game seem more real and worthy of your efforts, there is a lot of information to gather and everything NPC has worthwhile things to say. Despite the dated graphics the game feels a lot more "real" that more modern efforts, every action has consequences and each time you make a discovery it feels as though you deserved it. It's free and it's brilliant - what's not to like?

I love this game, played it all the time as a kid, but where's the sound with this download??? One thing I used to love about the game was the melody that accompanied it, but it's absent from this GOG release. What gives?
