Like the topic says. Is there a list or something someplace? Even the Ultima Dragons Facebook couldn't really help.
I mean I know of a few (Deathsword, those Softdisk Carmack made games, Wrath of Denethenor, arguably the Questron/Legacy of the Ancients/Blacksilver Dougherty games, Gates of Delirium on the Tandy CoCos) but is there some kind of definitive list and such?
If not do we need to make one? It might be heresy but to me Ultima 1 and 5 especially are like all I want out of my old school RPG. Enough mechanics to be satisfying but not so many as to go Full RPG Autism. Proper top down exploration with maybe sometimes 3d dungeons.
Like yeah there are some JRPGs that kind of get close ish (most of the Dragon Quest and offline Phantasy Stars) but the itch just doesn't get scratched right. And most Ultimalikes people talk about are trying to ape 6 and 7 which I don't entirely like. (Though yeah Nuvie and Exult mods are working on them. Dudes even trying to put turn based combat into 7 no less!)
So anyone got some help here?
