(but actually not on the ST)
I'll never forget discovering the town (forgot the name of it) with the tailors, clothmakers, thread spinners, and the sheep. I would spend hours on end, of my *actual* life mind you, bringing wool from the sheep to sell to the threadmakers, and bringing thread to the clothmakers etc. just so that I could get enough gold to get a complete suit of magic armor for all my party members. After I got 2/3 of the way through the game it crashed during a save, causing my save position to be off of the edge of the map universe. In other words weeks of gameplay were toasted. I never wanted to invest weeks of my life to get all the way through it again, so that was that. Plus Ultima 4 and 5 both had bugs at the end anyway, so it's probably just as well.
This has to be one of the most underated ST games, okay ignore the disk swapping everytime you wanted to talk to someone.
This game was class.
If only the sequel - The Black Gate - made it to the Atari
