All this Ultima IV talk really takes me back. I had that on an Atari 800XL. I remember staying up late, drinking coke and eating chips, and wandering around that amazing map, talking to townsfolk, mixing reagents and such. I had that Atari running on two screens at once. One was a black and white TV and the other was in color. No reason for that. It was just cool to have double screens.
Ultima IV has nothing but positive memories for me. I have it running on original Atari 800XL hardware even today. The disks run off a virtual drive, but all the gameplay is on original machinery. It's loads of fun. During the Satanic Panic, my parents threw out all my cool games. They even tossed my Ultima IV ankh. I bought it all back though off of ebay, even the ankh, haha. Luckily I did this before the prices really skyrocketed. I have most of the cool RPGs from back then.
