I disagree! Ultimas 5-7 and the Underworld's still hold their own against
most current RPGs, IMO. Most of the current RPGs (except BAK) simply 
don't have the intricate plots, subquests and non-linearity that these
games had. Who cares about graphics, if the game is so piss-poor you don't
want to ever play it. (Myst, IMO).
