I don't know what version I played, but I certainly would not consider
Ultima I unplayable.  I found it an enjoyable and engrossing game.  It
is, in fact, the only one of the first three that I've finished.

The second was fun, and I enjoyed roaming around the solar system, but
I never mangaged to kill what's her name at the end.  She always flicked
to the other side of the palace and I had to fight my way through those
nasty guards and I couldn't keep enough hit points or energy or whatever
it was called.

I didn't like Ultima ]I[, so I didn't even attemp to finish it.

I played all the Ultima's on either an Apple ][+ or //e.  I don't know
about other machines, but I thought the games were very playable, even
Ultima I.

               But somehow, it's not just the words, is it?
