Ultima VII, part 2: Serpent Isle

Rating: 6/6
Language: English, Castellano
Licence: Commercial
System: PC
A few months after destroying the black gate the Avatar is sent to catch the leader of the conspiracy, who had fled to a lost land known as the Serpent Isle.

Basically the game system is the same as in the first part, but with some improvements. Mainly better graphics, noticed easily when equipping your characters and some hotkeys. But there is a big weakness added, linearity.

Ultima VII: The Black Gate

Genre: RPG
Rating: 6/6
Language: English, Castellano
Licence: Commercial
System: PC
A mysterious being contacts you, the Avatar, menacing with a drastic change to the land of Britannia and, again, a gate is opened to carry you back to the kingdom, where nobody has summoned you as after two hundred years of peace the land is entering into a new age of illumination.

Ultima VIII

Origin 1994
Genre: RPG
Rating: 3/6

Ultima VIII - Pagan. The Guardian has banished the Avatar to Pagan, a world he controls. Now it is up to you (aka the Avatar) to make it back to your own world. You find yourself near the town Tenebrae which is ruled by Mordea - who is leading something best described as a terror regime. Among other things it's one of your goals to defeat her.

Uninvited
Title Screen
Icom Simulations 1987
Genre: Adventure
Rating: 4/6
Language: English
Licence: Commercial
System: Amiga
Driving a car at a stormy night can be quite dangerous: Accompanied by your little brother, you're on a quiet and lonely road through the open country when suddenly an unrecognisable figure appears before you. Trying to avoid hitting it, you pull the wheel aside and crash into a tree. Everything goes black.

Universe
Title Screen
Core Design 1994
Genre: Adventure
Rating: 2/6
Language: English, Francais, Deutsch, Italiano
Licence: Commercial
System: Amiga
As so often, bribing / threatening (or whatever they did) magazines into giving the disastrous Curse of Enchantia good reviews worked. Sales were apparantely good enough to warrant a sequel. And so, Universe was made. Another monster let loose on humanity or did they get it right this time?

Uridium
Title Screen
Graftgold 1986
Genre: Action
Rating: 5/6
Language: English
Licence: Commercial
System: C64
The alien invasion of Earth is afoot, and there's just no way to stop the attacking forces by conventional means. Even if the puny earthling forces manage to destroy one wave, countless more are just waiting to take its place. So the humans recognize their only chance is to go to the source and cut off the invaders' supplies.

Uridium 2
Title Screen
Graftgold 1993
Genre: Action
Rating: 5/6
Language: English
Licence: Commercial
System: Amiga
When Uridium first came out, it was breathtaking: great looking, lovingly animated and incredibly fast at the same time. As the years went by, such qualities gradually lost some of their effect, of course. Still good, still (relatively) impressive, but not a sensation anymore.

Uridium Plus
Alternate Name(s): "Uridium+ ", "Heavy Metal Uridium ", ""
Title Screen
Graftgold 1986
Genre: Action
Rating: 5/6
Language: English
Licence: Commercial
System: C64
Uridium Plus, released the same year as the Uridium. Not much time to change anything, but also not much need to, since the original version was very successful - never change a winning horse. So the basics remain the same: The player flies the Manta ship's assault on the aliens' huge Dreadnoughts, first taking out the numerous waves of defenders, then landing and activating the self-destruct mechanism - all that to stop the invaders' supply of raw materials.
