Ultima Underworld - Gameplay

This is me (guess what) playing Ultima Underworld with Dosbox 0.70.

This game (1992) came out before Wolfenstein 3D, it has physics, you can jump, fall down (looking up and down too, but didnt find the buttons, lol), swim (i wanted to show that, but it would have been a waste of time), a eat/sleep system and everything else im trying to show here.

I had to present the game in under 10 minutes so its a little "run through".

I myself played this game to the 6th or 7th dungeon, but some bug appeared and i lost all my inventory, which really pissed me off.

If you want to see the Intro, just search for it on Youtube. Im going to upload more old dos game videos.

Such an incredible achievement in gaming-programming history. Also the music is haunting and eerie. I'm 32 now, and this was my childhood.

i still have this game and the sequel but cant run it :( Dosbox 0.74 is too confusing. This is the first pc game i played and have to admit one of the games that made me into a gamer i am today. They dont make games like these anymore.

Cannot wait to start this. I just started an Ultima Let's Play series, I'm only on 1 though so I still have awhile to go.

@Imgema Not just that, slopes, floors and ceilings in different heights, looking up and down, jumping, a few 3D RENDERED OBJECTS!! In a 1992 game!! I'm glad to see from the comments here that other people appreciate this too

This looks way more advanced that Wolfenstein 3D. Hey, at least you can see textures on the floor/ceiling.

@Killerratte hovertank 3d e catacomb 3d was out before this but it's true that Carmack was "ispired" by the texture mapping of this game, but because he said that he can make a better texture mapper...

@SergeantLuke Doom was in developement way before this game was released, and Tomb Raider is a 3rd person action game i dunno how a first person RPG has anything to do with it.

Extremely advanced game for that time.

This game seems to have been forgotten by the mainstream these days, and that's a damn shame. Without Ultima Underworld, it's more than likely that some of your favorite games would never exist. The Elder Scrolls, BioShock, Deus Ex, Half-Life, Tomb Raider, Doom, and many more all owe an enormous debt to this game.

I bought my first PC just to play this game, a 386sx. This game was so immersive at the time and so advanced compared to the competition

This is the Skyrim of the 1990s..
