introduction to Ultima VIII: Pagan on a Compaq Presario 425 with Roland Sound Canvas SC-55

the colour palette is incredibly high contrast - shockingly so on a real CRT. it is impossible to replicate that vibrancy on modern LED monitors.

The introduction shows the avatar being tossed into the sea of tears by the guardian’s big red hand, in front of the island of morgaelin.

The avatar stands near the corner of a stone house, where a gargoyle drips water out of a cornerstone onto the ground nearby. The camera is very close to the CRT showing individual phosphors.
