The first one. It's the only one I could ever get into and enjoy. I
did replay it some time ago and quite enjoyed it. Maybe even my replay
of it is too long ago now though.
I was actually on the fence about Ultima, and I was almost thinking of
saying Temple of Apshai which probably holds up better in its simplicity.
There's also the issue of what year a 'classic' is. I'll note those are
all PC games as well, other than GTA which was also on console and
that's where I played it, and is I think the newest on my list.
