I'm about 40 and am usually grouped as a millennial (at least for the common purpose of blame, e.g. killing cinemas), though I somehow missed Baldur's Gate; played the hell out of the Ultima series though!



This is something I wish could come back. Ultima was a great series, and I even liked the trash heaps that were Ultima 8 and 9.

Unfortunately, EA still holds the rights. The new mmo-ish game that Garriet made is one I have not really dived into yet


The Ultimas were (mostly) wonderful, especially Ultima 7, but I don't think there's anything particularly valuable about the "IP".

It was really about Garriott exploring innovative ways in how to translate the tabletop RPG experience into a computer game. You don't need an Avatar or Britannia to pursue ideas like Ultima 4's virtue system or Ultima 7's interactivity.


> played the hell out of the Ultima series though!

this is Wizardry III erasure.

(i'm a bit older and solidly GenX)
