Chaos strikes back is the hardest of all Dungeon Masters, its better to import a good group from DM1. And the Dungeon Design is crazy, you dont go from level 1 to 10 like in DM1, rather 4 sections all over. Plus you fight the biggest monsters all the time, Dragons and such. Traps everywhere, not much water. And even if you look at the maps you need to study them for half an hour before you understand what the hell is going on and where you are.
Its still more fun than the keep part of DM2. You should play it, but dont get discouraged in the beginning, you are literally thrown into a dark pit with no armor or weapons and immediatly attacked by lots of worms. First cast light!

I am not sure I will play Ultima 8, I liked Ultima 6 very much and recently played it again, but I dont have good memories of Ultima 7 and 8, they seemed more like action games, I'm probably wrong, I did not play them much.
I never heard of shadow caster. Is italy your hero there and juve the enemy? (joke)


Great!

My congrats, Hero!

You are good player..

I am still at Ultima 8 Pagan in some isle preparing for 8 foci's if remember?

.... You may eat even dead bats! Ha ha ha
Probably You know that the prices of the first shopkeeper are better than these of the one in the second town, which is back to Giant that trowed weapon?

(sry for delayed answer but i was all the day trying to install Win XP Pro in my virtual machine together with ME and 7 without success)

TY for Chaos strikes back info.
Hmmm.. difficult.
Do You know that my second nick is the brave?
(humble one). So I plan to play it soon.

Concerning Ultima 8 Pagan, allow me with all my respect to You to defend another thesis. I think U8 is a good game....Action game is Doom 2, i think. U8 is typical RPG. Yes, the protagonist is one, not six members as in Xeen.

Conc. shadow caster - so old game that few know it. The only hero transforms from human to bear and visa verse..

Italy and Juve
Caro Capo is very respected from me. He is perfect gentleman and Italian, who support the wrong football team - Juve.

Your humble slave supports the right team - Lazio.
We have this joke.
