Hi, that's my very first to Usenet groups, so I'm kind of excited.

I'm here to ask you where can I download the games.

I've played UltimaOnline, and I want to know what came first.

Thanks!!

Welcome to Usenet.

Ultima IV was more or less freely released on the Internet by Origin a few
years ago. If you do a Google search it should be easy to find someone
offering it for download.

As for the other games in the series, technically they are still under
copyright and haven't been licenced for free download. You may be able to
find used copies of the original distributions via eBay.

First came Akalabeth, though if you're expecting it to be anything like
Ultima Online in terms of gameplay and graphics, you may be disappointed.
That's not to say the earlier Ultimas aren't worth playing, though.

Regards,
Tristan

For "may", read "will". >

Some find the pre-U7 interfaces a bit clunky -- and the pre-U5 games
particularly look their age, but there's plenty of gameplay in there.

FWIW, U4 is only legitimately downloadable as a particular archive, from
an Ultima Dragon's website. Those were the conditions under which EA
granted the distribution -- but there are still plenty of sites that
meet them.

I know that the game is very different from UltimaOnline, but as a play
RPG, not only UltimaOnline, I think that would be a great experience to
play this old computer RPG games.

But so I'm going to try to find this Ultima IV.

My Best Regards,

I have it for DL from my site, including walkthru and a few updates:

If you're lucky, you can get The Ultima Collection on ebay or from a
cheapo-bin somewhere.
