As you might guess, this is the second part of the trilogy Era of Darkness. From the first seconds of striking some unexplained deterioration in graphic terms, although many "modern" players seemed that graphically something worse than Ultima I on the screen, it was impossible to portray. The speed of the game as incredible, so play it on your current computers, even using delaying the program is problematic. But for true fans barriers do not exist.
You have to kill the witch Minaks, who was an apprentice at Mondeyna destroyed in the first part. Over the years it has become so powerful that our hero will have to make a trip into the past in order to destroy it.
The worst of the games in the series.
Ultima 3
Publisher: OSI

From him were able to learn only one thing: evil is once again back in Sosariyu and his name Exodus - causing the necromancer Mondeyna Minaks and witches. You and your companions are sent back peace and quiet lands Sosarii.
The graphics of this part is still in the mode of CGA. The gameplay has not undergone major changes, only slightly changed the balance and added new classes. All the same monsters, but now they no longer need to kill alone that pleases. More about the game actually have nothing to say. All that has been said about predecessors, fairly and with respect to it.
Ultima 4
Publisher: Origin
Released: 1985
Fourth Ultima - is the first part of the trilogy of the Enlightenment era. That it is your first encounter with the concept of Avatar and in fact it is in it laid the basic concepts of the world of Britain as we know it. The death of Exodus (Exodus) resulted in a cataclysm, partly to change the shape of the continent. After its destruction, Lord British, a man from our measurements, finally becomes king Sosarii combined land and his kingdom be named Britain.
Do good in this world there are three pillars: justice, love and courage. For each of the pillars of Lord British erected a castle. To help people in their daily lives, eight cities were founded, each of which was dedicated to a particular virtue. But newborn Britain needed someone else, which is a combination of all these virtues put together, who would become for the inhabitants living example for others to follow, Avatar. This avatar and you have become. You have to prove themselves worthy of each of them, as well as gain the Code of Wisdom, taking it out of the heart of the Stygian Abyss.
During your adventure you need to very carefully monitor their actions, because they lose one of the eight virtues by committing vile act is much easier than to find it again.
You'll meet a lot of people who want to join you in your quest. Do not neglect them, because they will not just save your life.
Ultima 5
Publisher: Origin
Released: 1988
This is the fifth part of the series Ultima, and the second part of the trilogy of the Enlightenment era. Destroyed Rock Immortality spawned three Lords of Shadows (The Shadowlords), and they have to face our avatar on this time. Lord British has not returned from his journey to the underworld of Britain, and no one knows whether he is alive again. He took the throne of Lord Blackthorn, once the closest associate of Lord British, but now is under the absolute control of the Lords of Shadow. All associates Avatar has declared rogue. And avatar face the same fate.
Origin has used all possible potential EGA graphics. Of course, this is the best of the classic Ultimate, although it certainly is not comparable in quality to the subsequent games of the series.
Good game, a funny story, and if you are willing to put up with the EGA graphics you it definitely should be like.
Ultima 6
Publisher: Origin
Released: 1990
At the time this game was a real revolution in the genre of RPG. The first game in the series Ultima using VGA graphics, which has a much more user-friendly interface and partly using a mouse.
Avatar, living peacefully at his home in this world, sees the portal opens, calling him. But this time it is not blue and blood-red. Joining him, our hero finds himself surrounded by hostile demons, ready to sacrifice him at its altar. And only true friends, familiar from previous installments of the series, save him from the clutches of monsters. Avatar learns that in Britain there were winged gargoyle, bringing death and destruction. They have already managed to grab eight temples of virtue and obviously trying to find something. Avatar and his faithful companion a difficult task to understand that they want the invaders, and how to stop them.
Advantages of the game is undeniable. Quite decent graphics compensates fairly complex interface. But the really shocking story of the game, which does not divide the world into good and evil-one, and puts the player in front of the difficult questions.
Gameplay is consistent with a great story. Excellent dialogue system and combat system could become a benchmark for the RPG, but, unfortunately, for most people they were too complicated to learn, despite the fact that the developers have made every effort in order to simplify them, without losing functionality.
Indeed pearl series Ultima, surpassed only the seventh part. Ultima 7
Publisher: Origin
Released: 1992
Osnovnaya detail seventh Ultima - is its interactivity and stunning detailing the life of the characters.
Similarly, the hero offers incredible freedom of action. He can build from boxes or furniture ladder to climb to the roof or to barricade their door. It can also bake bread, go to church masses and mine ore in the mines, and it is certainly not a complete list of all possible actions.
The team can be up to eight characters, each with his biography, a unique manner of behavior (remember even Dupre, paladin, who is leaving the team each time picture does vile act) and of warfare.
Avatar lives in our world. Only when the world is in danger of Ultima, Lord British sent for him, opening a portal (moongate) in the circle of stones, located behind the house avatar in our dimension. It is worth noting that in Britain, time flows differently. In our world, it may take only a year, but in the world of Britain held a century. But people live there longer. For example, the bard Iolo, faithful companion of the Avatar, has passed for the second hundred, and he continues to pursue his favorite craft - making and selling crossbows. And how many years Lord British himself, no one knows. And here, in the circle of stones again hit by lightning again opens the portal. But now it is not blue, and red. What does this mean? Picture stepping into the portal ...
Ultima 8
Publisher: Origin
Released: 1995

He got everything he wanted. The future looked bright, but in the reserve he had two more attempts. So he decided to create something a little different from the world created by him earlier, because if the idea fails, it will still be part of the ninth for the rehabilitation ...
World Ultima 8 puts customary law on its head. No longer Britain. The powerful Guardian threw us into another dimension. No more assistants are now all must understand himself. Now there is no more need to feed character. Avtoboy disappeared, and there were jumping. Gone coaches, and the hero began to develop as the use of certain skills. The game has become much more an arcade, but at the same time, it sometimes adds a depth to it. Sometimes we have to climb much either, using the opportunity to pull or jump.
Fortunately it has not disappeared anywhere stunning interactivity. Things can be dragged and use thanks to the game engine, not a script. But on the other hand lost interactivity NPC. Now, they spend most of their time idly knocking around the city without taking any action.
