Play Ultima Underworld II: Labyrinth of Worlds Online

Game Overview

Ultima Underworld II drops you into this weird, sprawling dungeon that’s actually a portal hub to eight different dimensions—each with its own messed-up problems to solve. You’re basically the interdimensional handyman, except instead of fixing leaky pipes, you’re negotiating with goblins or figuring out why some wizard’s magic went haywire.

The controls feel janky by today’s standards (mouse-look was still a novelty back then), but there’s something satisfying about clicking around to poke at objects or flipping through your inventory like a backpack full of questionable loot. You’ll accidentally throw a cheese wheel at a guard at least once. The automap is a lifesaver, though—without it, you’d be lost in five minutes.

It’s one of those games where you start scribbling notes because some NPC offhandedly mentions a password, and three hours later you’re like, “OH, THAT’S what the talking tree wanted.” If you can handle the old-school clunkiness, there’s still nothing quite like it.

Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
