ultima underworld question
GOG is fine, I've got several games with them, no problems. Also, check John Glassmyer's Ultima Patcher, he has patched mouselook for UW1, and it works very well. Here's a link explaining what the patcher does.

Syndicate Plus, Syndicate Wars and Ultima Underworld I & II - Free for a month on GOG.com
And luckily, someone created a mouselook mod for them recently that works very similarly to System Shock Enhanced Edition. It also lets you interact with objects using the E key rather than choosing "open/use" every time, which is huge as well. You can get it here: https://github.com/JohnGlassmyer/UltimaHacks

At the publisher's request, Ultima Underworld 1+2, Syndicate Plus, and Syndicate Wars will be delisted from GOG this Monday
Wow that really sucks. Ultima Underworld is an incredible game that 100% holds up today with the only exception being the controls, which thankfully someone has mostly fixed by adding a mouselook toggle and WASD controls: https://github.com/JohnGlassmyer/UltimaHacks (there is also a Unity port, but it has some pretty major bugs/missing features still).

I remember playing Pokémon Crystal on my translucent purple GBC as a kid. Feels surreal to have this in my hand
You have to compile it yourself or ask for someone to do it in the discord, but they found a way to exceed the pokemon limit in what they call the 9-bit version.
