To be on-topic <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> :
I'm currently playing Ultima 7 through Exult.
The graphics are old, but the more I play it, the more I like it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
It reminds me very much of my beloved Nordlandtrilogie (Englisch version: Realms of Arcania). <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
I was quite happy to get it installed from the old floppies. SDome floppies from another Ultima package ("The first Trilogy") weren't readable anymore. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />
But on the other hand, I could get the floppies of Ultima Underworld 1 working as well.
The only *real* disadvantage is that the map of my version of Ultima 7 is printed on paper, and the numbers (coordinates) aren't very readable. But I've found a workaround for that with the handbook, which has at least the longitude and altitude lines in it.
On UltimaDot there's a good solution book in PDF format for that, if anyone tries to play it again.
And Exult, by the way, is a *huge* advantage over the old interface ! The words look much smoother, for example.
