I've always felt that UW1 is massively underappreciated for the impact it had on computer gaming. It's been attested that John Carmack was inspired to create the engine that would eventually become Wolfenstein after seeing Underworld at a 1990 software convention and saying that he could write a faster texture mapped engine.
It had an enormous impact on me as a child discovering games in the mid 90s. I got a copy of UW on a games CD I got bundled with a Creative Soundcard[0]. This also came with so many other fantastic games, of which another was Ultima VII.
