Descent To Undermountain: 1/10 points |
Yuck. A huge disappointment. Some games are good, some mediocre, some bad; but some transcend simple badness by reaching for greatness and then tripping on their own shoelaces. This is the latter.
I played it for a brief while, put it aside, and later picked it up, only to confirm my first horrible opinion. Buggy, story-shallow, non-immersive, low interactivity, ugly, slow...a train wrecking into the Titanic comes to mind.

Elvira 2 - The Jaws of Cerberus: 3/10 points |
This is an adventure game, not an RPG. I played it on the Amiga. I was not terribly impressed. |
Hard Nova: 7/10 points |
This game was a sequel of sorts to a prior game I don't recall. It really wasn't too bad. |
Shard of Spring: 2/10 points |
This was a very unprofessional and primitive RPG (4-color CGA graphics). It seemed like it might get better, but it didn't. I stopped playing it. |
Ultima 9 - Ascension: 7/10 points |
This game was released buggy and basically unfinished. Lord British was being pushed out of Origin by EA so that EA could make Origin focus solely on Ultima Online. He obviously had staff/time/money chopped.
On the good side, patching it up to the latest version removes copy protection and greatly improves it. Another superb improvement is the Ultima Fan Patch (dialogue replacement) that incredibly improves the game merely by changing the text. LB should have hired these guys for his dialogue. Really, it is like a whole new game. Good luck finding the patch, though.
