Ultima is a series of fantasy RPGs created by Richard Garriott (a.k.a. Lord British more) than 30 years ago. The main story of Ultima universe, which takes place in the worlds of Sosaria and, later, Britannia, follows the unnamed protagonist (known only as the Stranger or later as the Avatar, an incarnation of virtue) through three “Ages”: The Age of Darkness (Ultima I-III), The Age of Enlightenment (Ultima IV-VI), and The Age of Armageddon (Ultima VII-IX). It’s one of the most influential RPG series, recognized for open-ended gameplay, in-depth morality system exploring mature themes like racism and xenophobia, and a rich and detailed world. Whether you want to try the original trilogy, visit thousands of colorful places and characters in Ultima 4+5+6, play through Ultima VII: The Complete Edition--arguably the best in series, find your way back home in Ultima VIII: Gold Edition or complete Ultima Underworld 1 and 2, the first first-person RPGs with true 3D environments, all these titles are available for only $2.99 this weekend on GOG.com.

Wing Commander is a series of 3D space combat simulators, described by the games’ creator Chris Roberts as "World War II in space.” In this series, you follow pilots of the Terran Confederation in their fight against the aggressive feline Kilrathi. Introduce yourself to the epic military space conflict in Wing Commander 1+2, play as Col. Christopher "Maverick" Blair (starred by Mark Hamill) and watch amazing FMV cut-scenes in Wing Commander 3: Heart of the Tiger, enjoy fast, action-packed, and varied space combat in the most expensive video game of its era Wing Commander: Privateer.

In addition to that, because the Wing Commander series plays so much better with a joystick, we’ve approached the guys from Logitech and they were kind enough to offer a few awesome Logitech Extreme™ 3D Pro joysticks to our users. Leave a comment below for a chance to win 1 of 3 logitech joysticks. You can also enter a similar joystick-winning contests on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+.

Become the Ultimate Commander (THE ULTIMMANDER!) and buy the complete collection of EA’s Most Famous Classic Series for only $26.91, this weekend on GOG.com.
A joystick? I'd be a fool to say no, and I'm not buying the Ultima games only because I've beaten them all before.... awww, yeah, I probably will anyway.
Great sale!
Wing Commander is one of the all time greats. I wish this series would make a comeback with a modern take, would be amazing with todays tech.
I'm in Wing Commander plays better with a stick

amcdermo: I'm sure they're classics but the gameplay in Ultima 1-6 might be too basic and or infuriating for me. The graphics might make it difficult as well. I have an open mind though. I did start gaming on the Commodore 64 but never played Ultima so as a new player should I skip the first 2 packs or would I miss a good story? Can a modern gamer even play these anymore or are they too old-school?
here's a in indepth retrospective article for the entire Ultima series:

Would love a joystick for these games.
I have purchased some of the Ultima games. They seem like very famous RPGs. I should try them sometime.
Very nice sale.
I would love to get that joystick. It would make playing Wing Commander and Red Baron much more enjoyable.
A new joystick would come in handy. I just need more free time to play these awesome games.
A flight stick giveaway, huh? Wasn't expecting that.

I wouldn't mind getting a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro solely for review purposes, before passing it on. I doubt it'll live up to the old WingMan Interceptor as far as Logitech sticks go (honestly, they need to take that exact stick and just give it a twist rudder and a USB interface), but I would at least like to know if it's precise and reliable. Their earlier WingMan Strike Force 3D would've been a good stick if not for this X/Y-axis bleed issue (basically, moving along only one axis results in slight movement along the other axis, enough to throw off your aim).

As for Wing Commander, I need to get cracking on that whole series at some point. (My flight "sim" mainstays were Freespace on the dogfighting-in-space end and Independence War on the somewhat-more-realistic end.) This sale would be a great start...
Would love to win the joystick for use with my new games. Thanks for the chance.
Saw Wing Commander 4 played as a kid and thought it looked amazing, now its my turn. A joystick would make it awesome too!
I've been meaning to play the Ultima series for a while, but I've always lacked a proper joystick.
great sale, but I'll pass on the joystick; I got a better one despite it being close to 10 years old at this point.
