Akalabeth was the first game Richard Garriott (aka Lord British) published and
is sometimes (unofficially) known among Ultima fans as Ultima 0 (pre-Ultima I).
It's not as large or technically impressive as Ultima I, but its place as a bit
of computer gaming history cannot be denied.

If your disk still works, it may be a bit rare....
