Ultima underworld remake4/6/2024 At a stroke, it transformed the hoary old CRPG formula from a cerebral exercise in systems and numbers into an organic, embodied virtual reality. To be able to move freely through a realistically rendered 3D space to be able to walk up and down inclines, to jump over or into chasms, even to swim in underground streams… no one had ever seen anything like it before. It really is difficult to convey to non-time travelers just how amazing Ultima Underworld was back in March of 1992. Just when I’m starting to feel a little sorry for myself, having heard about some cool new release I just don’t have time for, I get to experience a game like Ultima Underworld the way a player from its own time would have seen it, and suddenly living in my bubble is worth it. Thankfully, though, being a virtual time traveler does have its advantages. I rarely play or even see current games the demands of this historical project of mine simply don’t allow for it.
