Lord British (Mr Garriot),
Thanks so much for the many years of fun and adventure- since 1981!
I'm now introducing my 7 year old son to Akalabeth and he's having a great and adventurous time,,,
Many thanks and may your royal goblet always flow to the brim with health, wealth and happiness.

First computer game I ever played and completed. Lots of great memories and late nights trying to finish the challenges. Played while living at a friends house during a move. Ended up staying up late many nights and learning to "save" as I went. Glad it's still around. Thanks for keeping it alive.

Thank you so much myabondonware.com administrators and contributors. Over the past six years, I have found your site to be helpful and problem free. Thank you also for your dedication to the classic 1980s and 1990s visual 2D screened software; Lord knows it was full of frustration and programming challenges. Those who were involved know what it was like. It is so refreshing to find quality preserved archives of library material. Your site deserves to receive recognition and reward.
If I may, the original programmers had to take screen ratio and area equations very seriously, and there was no WYSIWYG.
Thank you again,

Even though Ultima is old and out dated its still fun to play when looking for something to do

I was only able to grab a copy of this game long after playing Ultima V. It is a fairly interesting little exercise. I will say, though, I had a good amount of fun running around the land devastating enemies after pulling the old 80s/90s trick of editing your character files.
The game had some surprising elements, I thought.
