ULTIMA I: THE FIRST AGE OF DARKNESS – Commodore 64 (1986) The Birth of RPG Legends by Lord British
442Explore the origins of the RPG genre with Ultima I: The First Age of Darkness, developed by Richard Garriott (Lord British) and published by Origin Systems. Ported to the Commodore 64 in 1986 courtesy of David Shapiro, this ambitious title laid the groundwork for decades of computer role-playing games.
In this epic quest across the fantasy realm of Sosaria, players customize their hero and set out to defeat the evil wizard Mondain. Combining top-down overworld exploration, first-person dungeon crawling, and even space flight, Ultima I was a groundbreaking title for its time. The C64 version retained the game’s massive scale, bringing Garriott’s vision to life on the popular 8-bit system.
With its rich world-building, innovative blend of gameplay elements, and historical importance, Ultima I: The First Age of Darkness is a cornerstone of retro gaming history and a must-play for any RPG fan.
