Hello all gamers (yes, I finally figured out this post has been crossed
into other groups :))!
I am behind James 100% on this one. I have played both WOUs and
consider them to be two of my all-time favourites. The only reason
they weren't popular is because most Ultima fans didn't regard these
titles as real Ultimas (no Britannia, no LB - actually there is LB in
the game, just not under that name, heh heh) so they didn't give them a
fair shake. But the graphics, sound, world, NPC, and plot are all
top-notch.
