Ultima 8 banished to GOG
Funny thing, the past. We vaguely remember parts of it, then fill the rest in with a consensus of other people's vague parts. So, was Ultima VIII: Pagan an affront to Origin's much-beloved series or a decent RPG? See for yourself, as it's now on GOG.

The platforming, the controls, the way the Avatar would stumble for half an hour after being hit with anything, the complete lack of actual characters in the world of Pagan. What a mess. I still remember the sound clips for the Avatar taking a hit and stumbling into the next blow, ad infinitum, until he was dead. "Adhhh!!! Unfff OHHHHHHH!"
Ultima is still my favorite series of all time, though. I'd love to see it come back.-

I played it on a 386 33mhz system, and it was a little choppy, so when I went to a friend's house and saw it on his 486 66mhz, I had been expecting a BIG improvement. Nope, the combat was still horrifying and the platforming was worse.
