Remember the Might and Magic series?

As much as I loved the M&M and Wizardry series'... nothing got me excited like the
Ultima games.

I remember getting Ultima IV for christmas in 7th grade, then getting really ill and missing 2 weeks of school after the break. I played that game all day for two weeks straight. I remember playing as a Tinker and enjoying the game quite a bit. I also remember a cloth map and a little metal ankh that came with it. Ahh..good times.

ah yes, lands of lore, i played way to much of that when it first came out, it was one of the first games that had smooth transitions when running the gammit instead of enemies appearing out of thin air
