Review 2: Ultima Underworld was one of the first ever 3D first perspective games to be made, using a similar engine to Wolfenstein 3D or Doom except it was developed by and was made by Warren Spector of Looking Glass Technologies Looking Glass was known as Blue Sky Productions then. Sorry that it's not complete, but I thought it would be better than nothing.

A great classic that should be remembered by everyone! A note about the docs: The walkthrough only contains some hints on mantras that have to be spoken and the manual is only a list of the runes. I remember playing this one for hours myself - although I usually don't even like 3D-stuff. This game really kept people talking when it came out - everyone was overwhelmed by the intense atmosphere. You are really not alone down there - not only monsters, but also many friendly people are living in the stygian abyss. Not very unique - but in the process of the game you discover many secrets of the stygian abyss - interesting things, unexpected things. The guards will only open the gates of the dungeon when they hear her voice. The story itself isn't very interesting in the beginning - you are thrown into the stygian abyss - a famous dungeon that you might know from the other games - because you are suspected having been involved in the kidnapping of a princess - your only chance to prove your innocence is to rescue her out of the depth of this dungeon. You face different problems than in an 'ordinary' Ultima. This is one of the first 'real' 3D-RPGs - and a good one! The game itself is made up very much like Ultima, it's set in the same world and you can really talk to other characters and so on - this one's not just about fighting (though you need to do that too). Ultima Underworld: The Stygian Abyss Review 1: Released at a time when noone was talking about 3D.
