The Guardian has tricked you, Avatar.

Once, it was a beautiful land, but ever since the ancient battle between the Elemental Titans and the evil "Destroyer", it is engulfed in eternal twilight.
Titans - now worshiped as gods - are cruel and uncaring.
They bestow power on their most dedicated followers who, in turn, terrorize Pagan's population.
To find a way back home, you need to become a Titan yourself before the Guardian succeeds in his plot to conquer Britannia--and then Earth itself.
The eighth installment of the Ultima series takes a much darker tone.
The story is much more mature (do the ends justify the means?) and the game focuses more on action, like climbing and jumping across platforms.
Training your character has also changed: the more you use an ability, the better you are with it.
Without a party to assist you, you must rely on your own strength, dexterity, intelligence, and magical abilities to save Britannia and Earth.
Dark, engrossing story with a moral dilemma: will you accept evil for the sake of the greater good?
Much more action-oriented than previous installments with fluent and responsive combat mechanics and new ways to explore the unknown.
Living world: each inhabitant has his or her own schedule, going about ordinary business in Pagan.
Includes the speech pack: some of the major game characters are fully voiced.
About PC
PC gaming spans over four decades, from early DOS titles to today's massive Steam and digital-storefront libraries. Because "PC" covers everything from 1990s CD-ROM releases to current AAA titles, it's the single largest platform by game count on Gamevaro. For collectors, PC gaming splits into two very different worlds: physical big-box releases from the 1990s and 2000s (increasingly collectible, especially complete-in-box with original manuals and inserts) and the modern digital library, which Gamevaro tracks for portfolio and spending purposes even though it has no resale market.
Gamevaro tracks Ultima VIII: Gold Edition for PC with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Ultima VIII: Gold Edition to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PC release dates back to 1996.

Rarity & condition
No market sales have been tracked yet for Ultima VIII: Gold Edition — this could mean it rarely changes hands, or simply that Gamevaro hasn't recorded a sale for it yet. Be the first to add it to your collection.
Condition matters a lot for collector value: loose (cartridge/disc only), complete-in-box (CIB, with original packaging and manual) and factory-sealed copies are tracked separately because the price gap between them can be significant, especially for older releases.
