Exact same experience here. Ultima 8 came free on a CD-ROM that I think accompanied a Creative Sound Card my father had purchased? The same disc had Wing Commander 2... Anyway, I played Ultima 8 to death as a child - explored the map obsessively. Eventually I hit first jump puzzle and "abandoned" any attempt to play it properly after that.
