Ultima 8 Gold edition is the free game of the month from Origin's on the house.

The Guardian has tricked you, Avatar. After you defeated Batlin on Serpent's Isle, he banished you to Pagan, a world under his control. Once, it was a beautiful land, but ever since the ancient battle between the Elemental Titans and the evil "Destroyer", it is engulfed in eternal twilight. Titans - now worshiped as gods - are cruel and uncaring. They bestow power on their most dedicated followers who, in turn, terrorize Pagan's population. To find a way back home, you need to become a Titan yourself before the Guardian succeeds in his plot to conquer Britannia--and then Earth itself.

The eighth installment of the Ultima series takes a much darker tone. The story is much more mature (do the ends justify the means?) and the game focuses more on action, like climbing and jumping across platforms. Training your character has also changed: the more you use an ability, the better you are with it. Without a party to assist you, you must rely on your own strength, dexterity, intelligence, and magical abilities to save Britannia and Earth.

Thanks. I was absolutely hooked on Ultima through Ultima 6. Time to pick up one of the more "modern" games in the franchise.

horrible graphics... yes I know its old, and it's the game-play is what matters but this is just unacceptable in this day and age. Some games age better than others but this one did not fair well at all.

This is an isometric 2d game from 1994. Ofc the graphics are going to be bad by today's standards. It was over 20 years ago!

I played hundreds of hours palying Ultima IV and had a blast. My party could kill everything on the surface but I totally hated Dungeons. Never finished it to my dismay.
