Well, you don't get to see one of these very often nowadays. Especially not in fully working condition.

Cover art: a muscular warrior is descending a stone staircase, holding a sword and a bloodied shield. At the bottom of the staircase, a menacing horned figure stares at him from the dark.

I'll stop one moment to contemplate once again the exquisite art on the cover of Ultima Underworld, courtesy of Denis Loubet (and the four-language manuals included in the European release by Mindscape).
