I played it several years after it was released as I only went to the PC in 96 so it ran a bit fast. But damn it was awesome, I think I managed to go into every dungeon in the game and loot the lot, I found the two keys to the hoe of destruction (it took me hours rummaging through that garbage to find that damn key), I had 7 treasure chests I found in random locations sitting on my flying carpet I never could find the keys to some of those :( ... Towards the end I just decided to load up one of my pirate ships with all the loot I found, strand my companions on an island because they kept whining about me not feeding them and I sail the seas.
Ultima 7 is the best experience I have ever had playing probably any game ever (it manages to edge out ultima 4 and 5 just because of the better engine). And I have been playing games since the mid 80s so got to enjoy a lot of the classics!
A lot of games today wish they had the same kind of class or enjoyment factor (some do have that), it is why I love Morrowind (and I like Oblivion too), not many mainstream rpgs seem to follow the Ultima 7 style of rpg.
Ultima VII
in Classic Games

Am I allowed to say 'I agree' hehe.
