heard about it, but neve played, so i cant check if its actually a party based turn combat or just a prompt asking you what you would like to do next. |
Ultima was a natural evolution of Rogue-style gameplay, the original turn-based RPG, with tile-based graphics. It also innovated the 3D perspective dungeon of it's primitive predecessor Alkabeth, which later became an RPG genre in its own right. Ultima also had some sci-fi/fantasy crossover themes. UltimaIII introduced party combat in 1983 and ported to the NES many years later.
