Old Ultima on Net?

[Zaruthustran]

Gametap (online casual game service) is hosting all the old Ultimas. This week is even Ultima Week, with Lord British himself giving interviews, intros to the games, and even a tour of his castle. Google and you'll find the press release.

For Ultima-like goodness, go and download Natuk or Nahlakh. Those games are really fun, and similar to Ultima III-IV in feel.

Any idea how much GameTap costs? I'd like to know.

It can be tracked down on many of the abandonware sites. Google for "Abandonware" and you should find it an many other old-school games out there.

You also might checkout DOSBox, which is a DOS emulator which runs under windows, to run these games on. Many of them do not do well natively, IME.
