Another early game often cited for its influence on future titles, but on its own it's not very fun. The 3D rooms are mostly a lot of wasted processing power to render hallway after hallway.

This cool little game is the precursor to the Ultima series, and what's here is literally just the bones of Ultima 1 + a tiny bit of story. For what it is though, it's pretty cool. Plus the 1998 version's music is bangin

Meh it’s from the 70s so it’s of course not good.

Crazy to think someone made this in high school. A future of games came out of this
