I started playing the Ultima's with III.  The graphics could have better,
but it seeing those screens sure brings back some memories.  I tried playing
Ultima VIII on my 486/33, and it just wasn't the same, so I didn't feel too
shook up when I acidentally deleted the U8 directory.  The one thing I'd
like to see in this Ultima I GS program is _better sound_.  Take advantage
of the GS's sound capabilities and some of the sound cards out there.
