Ultima Online is released by Origin Systems (1997)
Ultima Online became the first massive multi-player online computer game and helped establish a new genre in the gaming industry. Ultima can be played by thousands of players online in real time, transcending national boundaries, through various game servers or "shards". Ultima revolutionized gaming, which had previously only been experienced through fixed software media loaded onto a PC's hard drive or by CD-ROM.
I've never actually played the game, but I have to respect the significant impact that it's had on the hobby and the gaming community.
