you just brought back a bunch of memories there. I played Baldur's Gate so much and probably saved at least 20 times per screen since it was permadeath if you lost a party member.

Ultima consumed a lot of my time even though our family computer was not powerful enough to enjoy it properly. I didn't know any better though since I had never seen it on any other system. It would be a year later that a friend of mine had it on a "real" computer and I saw how fast the game was supposed to be and was just blown away.
