Let me guess... Super Metroid? Chrono Trigger? Final Fantasy VI? Ultima Underworld? Symphony of the Night?

There were a few decent games released in the '80s and '90s.

The fact that you put Ultima Underworld in the company of those masterpieces makes me think I should probably give that game a shot.

I only tried playing one Ultima game a long, long time ago, and I couldn't get into it. I'm guessing that one is a particularly good one, though.

Ultima Underworld is a bit different from the mainline Ultima games. Those are fairly regular RPGs (though I'd say that IV through VII are really good RPGs), but Ultima Underworld is more like an immersive sim. In fact it pretty much created the immersive sim genre. I personally kinda prefer UU2 over UU1, but they're both excellent.
