I play this game since 1994 and it's never gets old!
This is a wonderful recreation of the picture you have in mind when fondly remembering this gem.
I'm in the third Chapter and so far it's really good. The riddles are on the light side, but that's just what I like at the moment. The atmosphere is really dense and cosy. With a nice mystery sprinkelt in. Only the humor (german version) does not work so good. But it's not so bad that it distracting. Overall a thumbs up from an oldschool Lucasarts adventure fan.
This game holds up really well. The Gameplay is top notch. The grafics obviously can't but if you get used to that this game feels better than most modern space sims.
One of the best NSFW games. Tones of hot scenes, an actualy interesting storyline and some nice gameplay on top.
I like this game! Ok, I can understand why so many people are disapointed. When it (finally) arrived it was painfully buggy, had a bad performance and it was nothing like the developer had promised years before. But it has it's own charme. I started my Ultima-career late with Ultima 8 and I loved it for what it was, because I didn't had this expectations longtime Ultima-veterans had. And it's the same with Ultima 9. It feels and plays alot like the first Gothic just from the opposite side of the morale scale and without the dirty talk. If you just take it as a big and rich world to explore with plenty of wonderous places and characters you will have a great time playing this game! It may be no great Ultima but is has it's own virtues and isn't Ultima all about discovering your own virtues?!
This is still the best thiefing simulator out there. You have much more freedom to tackle each mission than in its grandchildren like Dishonored.
