Ultima Online is something inbetween among Ultima fans. Either you love those Massive Multiplayer Online Roleplay Games or you dont. Me, I dont like playing Ultima Online, because I played Ultima mainly for its story and I was always looking towards the animated endgame sequence as a special reward. But I like the intro and the music of Ultima Online - the shattered legacy. Today the UO-series is in its seventh incarnation and I stopped collecting after Ultima Online - the second age.

In 1997 UO was released with a General Midi soundtrack, which can be named "Ultima - best of". Among many new tracks youll find various older Ultima music. Problem at the release date (and also some years later) was the soundcard standard. Modern soundcards simply load an soundfondbank (which is also delivered with UO) into the memory of their soundcard and hope to enjoy the music at its best quality. Sorry to disappoint you, but I tried the standard 512 kb and 4 MB soundfonds (delivered with UO) on my Soundblaster 1024 LIVE! and also on my Soundblaster Audigy, but it sounds terrible in comparison to my Terratec Wave System Professional 4 MByte Wavetable-ROM or even to the Roland Sound Canvas 55.

The music was played on a Roland Sound Canvas 55 in General Midi with a Creative Soundblaster Audigy as recording device. No emulation tool has been used (soundfonts)
