Games
Akalabeth: World of Doom
Note: while this game does not technically belong to Ultima series and features different lore (hence the whole Ultima series is set to start from 1981 and not 1980), it is very often viewed as such due to lots of same gameplay decisions and even Lord British character reused since Ultima 1, hence it's unofficially called "Ultima 0". There is also uncertainty in whether the game saw the alleged limited Apple II release in 1979, but existing copies say 1980.
