If only someone would properly finish U8 ...

And if there were less jumping in U8. Visiting the air elemental was cause to rage against a village.

Later releases of U8 fixed jumping so it was less pixel-precise. It was still a clumsy mechanic, and the game still felt unfinished. But TBH I had a much worse reaction to Ultima IX, which capped off the series with a giant steaming turd. When I managed to get U9 to run at all after several years, I bounced out after a couple hours of playing. Still the only Ultima game I never finished.

It was also kind of creepy that a very good way to level up was to kill that pack of aggro children north of town.
