Ah, games from the dawn of the PC age.
I played Ultima 1 to 3 on an apple, 4 and 5 on DOS, 6-7 on Win95.
Back then, no Google for walkthroughs and cheats, 99% of games were pirated, so either you had to beg, borrow of steal a badly photocopied manual or just patiently wait for a fellow Ultima geek to give you some tips.
Really can't imagine now how 640KB (Ultima 1) to 3.84MB (Ultima 7) worth of data could keep one occupied for months!
