About Ultima
Ultima from Origin Systems defined the computer RPG across the 1980s and 1990s. The Age of Darkness trilogy covers Ultima 1 to 3, the Age of Enlightenment runs 4 to 6 around the Avatar virtues, and the Age of Armageddon closes with 7, Serpent Isle, 8 Pagan and 9 Ascension in 1999.
The Underworld pair from 1992 and 1993 add first person dungeon runs beside the main line, while Worlds of Ultima sends the Avatar to other settings. Ultima Online launched September 1997 and still runs through Broadsword with regular publishes, which is why the guide stays ongoing despite the single player close.
Good to know
Play the main nine in release order, with Akalabeth first only for history. Run Underworld 1 after Ultima 6 and Underworld 2 after Serpent Isle to match their tech. Ultima Online fits last as a separate live world, not a story sequel. Skip the cancelled Odyssey and the loosely tied Ascendant unless chasing curios.
