Was playing a bit of Stunt Car Racer for the Amiga this week, from 1989, and wondered how far back people are going!

Oh I didn't mean it to sound derogatory. I played it back on commodore64 back when it first came out in that same age range... so yeah I get it.. it's obtuse game for sure. Great if you get into it, tons of content, but definitely a lot.

Last time I tried it was on the pc version, which is free fwiw. https://www.gog.com/en/game/ultima_4

I've never tried it on apple II so I couldn't really say for emulation on that one.

Side note, if you want to play something that was heavily inspired by the classic Ultima games check out Moonring. It was made by one of the original devs of Fable and he outright says Ultima inspired it and the game wears that lineage on it's sleeve. It's got a lot of nice modern QoL and it was released for free and is still in active development. It's just a passion project for him.
