In some respects, I'm prone to agree. LucasArts really has their act together. 
My all-time favorite computer game was LucasArts' Habitat, although Ultimas 4, 
3, and 2 occupy the next three slots. LucasArts, however, is still producing 
games correctly targeted for their audience. 

I'm hoping that Ultima 9 will find its place in my top 5, but it would have to 
be a major departure from the pattern developed by 7, 7.5 and 8 to do so.
