This was the first Ultima game I had fully played. Let's make that clear. I hated Ultima 8 after the beginning, but I couldn't go to the graphics of the previous Ultima games - so Ultima 9 it was. I had a blast, i loved the world, the fiction, the music, the combat, the adventuring - it was great. If it wasn't for the performance running like doo-doo at the time, I'm sure it would've done better. A lot of the reviews here give the game a bad view because they are biased from the previous Ultima's - which is understandable, but unfair for you (if you are new to the Ultima series). I highly recommend it! The graphics on this, compared to today, are horrendous - but still way better than any of the Ultimas before it.
