Geezer has it right though when he says its tough going back to the early Ultimas. After experiencing Ultima VI (my first PC Ultima) I look upon the first few and cannot get past the crude graphics and gameplay. Will I ever go back and play them? Maybe at one point, but I am hoping that by the time I get to them, there might be a remake. :laugh:
I believe they did do a remake of Ultima I. It brought the game up to the level of IV as far as game mechanics and made it playable for the PC. I have never played II or III.

You are right. A modern remake of the early Ultimas would be very nice.
