Ultima VII Nostalgia

Got all nostalgic listening to this classical guitar (and ocarina!) cover of the Stones song from the Ultima series.

I spent hours playing Ultima VII, though I'm pretty sure I never actually completed the game. Mostly I remember my Avatar baking bread, gathering chicken eggs, changing diapers, turning lights on and off, eating pastries, buying useless antiques, and playing a carnival game over and over trying to win a stuffed dragon. Of course there were Very Important Quests too, with lots of cool places to explore and plenty of things to kill (if they didn't kill you first), but the real fun was in discovering all the little ways you could interact with the world. For a game that's nearly three decades old, it was ahead of its time.
