Ultima IV is free at the Good Old Games website, works on XP, Vista and 7

@Umma6umma I agree. He hit his stride with Ultima IV. This became his "world". I am unaware if you played the earlier Ultimas', however, Ultima I-III were essentially D&D with orcs, elves, clerics, and even bobbits!
-
how the fuck do you play this game?!?!?!?!

DeaconVorbis,
Kenneth W. Arnold wrote the music for Ultima III, IV, and I think V as well. Great stuff that triggers a flood of memories for so many of us.

@Ceaker247 second to that. i spent full month at a friends house at around '88 when i was 13 playing through ultima IV. my mother asked if my mail should be diverted to that address

I believe Ultima III for Apple ][ was the first soundtrack for a personal computer game. (There were sound effects in prior games, but not sound tracks). Can anyone think of an earlier example? Does anyone know who wrote the Ultima III music?

Love this intro! Love it! Probably the greatest intro ever!

@Umma6umma There is no Music on the IBM PC / MS-DOS version, only Apple II, Atari 8-bit and Commodore 64 I believe (this one is the Commodore 64 version)

Wow... This really makes me sad. Sad because this reminds me of my early childhood and that those times never come back. Such a great game, one made with love, unlike most games these days...

To me playing Ultima IV and hearing that haunting music was like stepping into an ancient and forgotten land full of wonder and mystery. Quite unlike say AD&D computer games which never had that suspension of disbelief in their worlds. Baldur's Gate was fun but felt fake.

You said it. I think Garriot's own personal enthusiasm and obsessions really comes through in these early Ultimas, unlike these modern "Games By Committee".

Whoa theres music?
I had such a hard time getting this to run on windows, but found DOSBox and it seems to work, but I never heard any music!

You might be missing a setting to emulate the sound blaster or adlib card, hence no music.

And to think the designer of this game is floating around in space right now as I type this.
