OK, downloaded the DOS emulators, sound emulators, emulator emulators, and I'm all ready to go.
Anyone played, playing, looking to play these classics?
I played the hell out of 3,4,5, back in the day, but apparently didn't get enough punishment from 6. So, off to gather up Iolo, Shamino, and the rest of the gang and do some virtuous crap for Lord British.
Ultima VII: Serpent Isle is one of my favorite computer games of all time. I am a big fan, as it really opened my eyes to what a computer game is capable of. :D

This is a wonderful alternative to the dos emulators, by the way (and there is an even better Ultima V revival called Lazarus!).
As alternatives to the pure Dos versions, there's xu4 for Ultima 4, Exult for Ultima 7 and Serpent Isle, and Pentagram for Ultima 8. The last I heard all of those emulation programs allowed the games to be completed. You do still need the original game files in addition to the programs listed.
There are also a lot of patches and utilities collected together at Ultima Aiera, including graphics upgrades and patches to add the music from other versions of U3, U4, and U5 to the PC Dos versions.
