I've noticed that about old games. You are shocked (!) initially about the pixely graphics (I used to think this was awesome graphics?), but it soon blends and it looks great, just like the first time. In some cases better (running SS1 years later in SVGA mode

And with UW, the gameplay makes you forget menial things like graphics.

I guess for me it's probably all the surprise attack moments, like all these guys have been saying the part with the shadow beast and all that loot :P That was... "HOLY S*** WHAT'S ATTACKING ME!?!?" I eventually saw the eyes and got the guy after a lot of running away hehe.
Another one... one of those "oh my god i'm stupid" type things... On the first level, right after u meet Bragit, and u go to that place with the rotworm and the vampire bat (which scared the hell outta me) ... I killed both bats, and the rotworm and all the lurkers in the water outside of that room, and so I was trying to get out, back up to where Bragit was. I spent about half an hour just trying to run back up that ramp (it had a gap in it, occupied by a rock, so I couldn't get across). Then somehow (don't quite remember) I discovered how to jump... after which I proceeded to give myself a good bonk on the head :P
There are many others but those are probably the best two hehe

- Excerpt from Big Trouble in Little China -
Uncle Chu- "China is here, Mr. Burton. The Chang-Sing, the Wing-Kong, they've been fighting for centuries!"
Jack- "What does that mean? Huh, China is here, I don't even know what the hell that means all I know is this Lo-Pan character shows up outta thin air in the middle of a g*dd*mned alley, while his buddies are flyin' around on wires cuttin' everybody to shreds, and he just stands there, waitin' for me to drive my truck straight through him!? With LIGHT comin' out of his mouth!?!?"

ohh so it is for unreal tournament ok. I thought there were some kind of mod for Ultima underworld. Just wondering but is there a mod for Ultima underworld? Or any kind of downloadable thing at all for UU?

I have many favorites in UW and UW2. I played UW a lot, but never had UW2. Then when I did get it, the game would not install because of a billion different errors. I finally got it to work and am pretty new at UW2. One of my favorite parts is opening up a chest in Nystal's room and one of the King's personal chest. Funny things inside... I wonder though if those items are of any use during the game. Also if any of you people can tell me where the "Listener" in Brittania is, I would be most greatful.

The 'listener' is only found with the item Altara makes for you and it is near the lava falls in the southeast corner of level 4. Just go south from the ladder down to that level and jump into the water, then out onto the shore. Follow the path up to the lava.
