Ultima I

Ultima I: The First Age of Darkness is the first official game in the series (Akalabeth is the "unofficial" start). It was published for the Apple II by California Pacific Computer Co. on June, 1981, simply under the name "Ultima" (before it was known that there would be more than one installment). Ultima inspired many other RPGs of the early to mid-eighties, laying the foundation for a whole genre.
