If I had to choose my all-time favourite RPG, Ultima V would have to be it. This is my rendition of the bold, catchy theme by Kennith Arnold.
I borrowed a copy of U5 for the Commodore (128), from my neighbour one summer in the early 90s. It came complete with a cloth map, and a metal codex coin, which was so damn cool. I then proceeded to play this game to death. Mind you, I didn’t really know what was going on, but I was happy enough to wander around Brittania, camping with my bros Shamino and Iolo, and visiting all the creepy / wonderful towns, and their creepy / wonderful citizens.
The original score by Kennith W. Arnold is an excellent example of a compelling soundtrack made with a limited sound palette. The original main theme can be heard here:
Enjoy! And … if you like it, share it! 😀

Hi Scott , this rendition of the ultima5 Main Theme is truly awesome. the feelings that its raised up in me is crazy. I remember playing this game to death back in the day, with my Spike helm , Morning STar and Magic Axe , fighting MOBs , and traveling through Moon gates , and praying that Lord British will visit me during my Camp outs 😀 man… This is really good work! Thanks
