I whole-heartedly agree.  I loved those two games, and I loved
Ultima 6.  The game engine was very playable for its time and the
storylines were interesting and not overly complicated.  My
question is:

Didn't Origin state a long time ago (forgot where I read this) that
they would make more Worlds of Ultima using the U7 engine?  Heh,
of course a hybrid U7/U8 engine (with the best features of each) would
be even better.  Am I imagining this, or did Origin just dump the
project?
