I'm a longtime retro-gamer born in the late 1970s, joined the Ultima Dragons in 1996 and hung out on RGCUD until around 2001. The first Ultima game I played was the Apple II version of Ultima V, which I feel was one of the strongest in the series; I just wish that it had some AI for the Companions during combat so I don't have to control all of them one blasted move at a time! :)

I also write/edit over at the fan-hosted wiki BreakIntoChat, which focuses on BBS games, as Xyzzy.

A couple of amusing Ultima-related quotes I've run across:

"[Ultima V has] an interactive world where if you get a little bored you can go off and do things you shouldn't." (from a review)

"A game's only late until it ships, but it sucks forever." — Origin Systems motto
