ULTIMA IV 4 QUEST OF THE AVATAR (NINTENDO NES)

Ultima IV: Quest of the Avatar, first released in 1985 for the Apple II, is the fourth in the Ultima series of role-playing video games. It is the first in the "Age of Enlightenment" trilogy, shifting the series from hack and slash, Dungeon crawl gameplay from its "Age of Darkness" predecessors to an ethically nuanced, story-driven approach. Ultima IV has a much larger game world than its predecessors, with a world map sixteen times the size of Ultima III and puzzle-filled dungeon halls to explore. Ultima IV further advances the franchise with dialogue enhancements, new ways to travel and explore, and global interactivity.

In 1996, Computer Gaming World named Ultima IV second in its list of the best PC games of all time. Designer Richard Garriott considers this game one of his favorites from the Ultima series.

Ultima IV was followed by the release of Ultima V: Warriors of Destiny in 1988.
