and here I remember the eighties for Binary Systems Starflight, what they did on two 360k diskettes amazes me even to today. The Wizardry, Bards Tale, Ultima, and Kings Quest, series. Elite is around in new forms today but it is from the eighties. Then throw in all the C64 games namely from Microprose and such, Silent Service, Stealth Fighter, F-15, Gunship, and even Pirates.

Not only did they have the imagination but you needed to really concern yourself with the limitations of the systems. My first "flight simulator" experiences are all C64 base. Looking back we can see that titles that originated in the eighties and nineties are still with us in new forms.



: ) wow, hey, I know this one, Ultima is what is called U.O.L. right? my cousin is addicted, still today. Great game.

maybe like other things, for example, inks for painting and marble for sculpting were very expensive in times of Fidia , DaVinci, etc... so they didn't waste it, and made the best Art,


Ultima is an RPG series (probably the founder of the CRPG genre). It has 9 single-player games as well as Ultima Online.
