Back in the early 1990s Origin’s Wing Commander dominated the genre of space combat simulations. The series’ combination of smooth gameplay, animated cut-sequences and incredibly detailed (for the early 1990s) in-flight graphics cemented its place as King of space combat sims.

By the early 1990s the Ultima series had risen to the pinnacle of the PC role-playing genre. Ultima VII: The Black Gate and its successor The Serpent Isle were astonishingly ambitious, masterfully executed games.
