ULTIMA - LORD BRITISH - 1981- One of the things I’m really interested in is how video games & TTRPGS grew up alongside each other & a lot of the evolution of video games was people trying to get their computers to do what TTRPGs did. Ultima, a game series by Richard Garriott (aka Lord British) was exactly one of these… I only played it a few times, my favorite D&D type games were Hack, Bard’s Tale & Legend of Zelda. In fact by the time that console games got to be of quality with the Nintendo I wasn’t too concerned about PC games & also by that time I was over D&D & had moved on to other systems. Despite this - Ultima had the great chrome logo, the cloth map with each game & frequently other cool tchotchkes (I think this game also had a good copy protection, that prevented me from obtaining it like most of my C64 games).
