The 20 Greatest Games Never Made

Even though GamePro’s list of “The 20 Greatest Games Never Made” doesn’t include Black Isle’s cancelled versions of Fallout 3 and Baldur’s Gate III, it’s still worth mentioning for the sake of Ultima X: Odyssey.

Following an avalanche of MMORPG cancellations, Ultima X: Odyssey was set to be a pretty slick game. Development hinted that the story would be a continuation of sorts to Ultima IX, and feature a Virtue System similar to really early Ultima titles like Ultima IV. Lead producer David Yee wrote a letter to supporters in 2004 stating that they would be giving up on Ultima X: Odyssey to bring the focus back to Ultima Online. Oh well.
