As for Ultima, which one? The first one is too old and too weird for
classic status IMO. I would nominate either Ultima 4 or 7 myself.

Oh, Ultima Underworld for sure. It's the most playable and most
accessible of all the Ultimas, especially to modern gamers.

If we're going to include the main line of games, Ultima 7 is a
shoo-in, but I'm on the fence between Ultima 4 and 5. U4 had its
unique story-line, but U5 added a lot of necessary QOL features that
just made the game a lot more fun.
