- Hmmm...I guess you had the brightness of your monitor turned down to a
- minimum, eh? Or what did you expect? To see some miles ahead? *shrug*
- The torch gives a good, acceptable light. If you want more light, use
- the Daylight spell (later) or an oil lamp.

- BAD? Did you really say BAD? I think it is a very good and suitable music.
- Did you expect hardrock or something like that? They are good tunes that
- don't go on your nerves after you heard them for hours. I like the music very
- much. BTW, do you think e.g. the Black Crypt titlesong is better than
- UW-Music? Shame on you!

- Bad joke, is it? I think so. Ultima Underworld is the best 3D dungeon game
- you can get. There's NONE better, or do ya think BC or DM are better?
- Again, shame on you. Fortunately I don't know CGW (if all their comments
- on really good games are that bad!), but to say there are better dungeon games
- than UW is a lie and only shows incompetence. Or *I* just don't know those
- games.
