I'd also say Ultima VII: Black Gate. It's a bit more accessible than the older games. The sequel, Serpent Isle, is also very good, though the world takes a while to open up. I'm also very fond of VI and its story. After that, you can go back to the older games - the newer installments Ultima VIII and IX are, uh, not well.

4, 5, 7 and Underworld are definitely in my "top tier" of must-play Ultimas. The next tier I would say is 3, 6, Serpent Isle and a free shard of Ultima Online. 3 really won't take long to beat if you have a fixed copy. I still intend to beat all of them, and there's some great stuff in every Ultima game, but most of the rest of them aren't as essential or influential as the ones above.
Ultima Underworld: The Stygian Abyss Launched in 1992, this game pioneered first-person 3D role-playing environments. It places the player in the Abyss to rescue a kidnapped girl while navigating factions and creatures. The game emphasizes simulation elements like hunger, lighting, and skill progression.
The first main Ultima game I enjoyed was IV (though III was not bad, but unbalanced towards grinding for money to buy food). VII gets cited as a good entry point as well and it' supposed to be the best out of the series, but I haven't played VII yet.
If you don't intend to play all of it, I guess you can skip Akalabeth, Ultima 1 - 3. Start with 4. My top 3 Ultima (not in order) is Ultima 5, 6 & 7pt1. Since you mentioned 6, don't forget Worlds of Ultima Savage Empires & Martian Dreams. I played both and they use the same graphics engine. It's not a bad addition.

Ranking Ultima How would you all rank all the games, from worst to best? I've only played one, so I'm curious to see what the fandom thinks of them.
