This screenshot shows off my implementation of the CLOS algorithm. Toward the end of the screenshot, the player casts a spell for XRay vision -- which is basically just turns off the CLOS algorithm.

Currently, I use a CLOS algorithm everywhere except combat maps.
There is also the Day & Night algorithm. When the sun goes down, so does your field of view. When you are underground (where the sun is not present) it is completely dark.
There is also the Light Point Source algorithm. Things like torches, lamps, candles, fireplaces, lava, etc will give off some amount of light. This will only be evident during the night or underground.

It's crazy isn't it?
Ultima V cost $60 in 1988. It was the most expensive game on the market. If you account for inflation, it would cost about $100 today. O_O

Holy economics Batman! Geez, all the intersting stuff in this Ultima game makes me want to look up and play throught the rest of the series. I remember there was alot of hype about the (later) Ultima games when I was in high school, but I never played any of them. Mabey i'll try to see if I can find some of these somewhere.

The Ultima series started getting really good with Ultima IV (1985). Ultima V, VI, VII, and VIII continued that tradition. Ultima IX was rushed to the market and very buggy from what I heard.
Most Ultima fans consider Ultima VII the best with Ultima V coming in second place.

yeah apparently UVII was pretty good. However the sim city like perspective looked quite weird imho, they should have made walls vertical like in Zelda or Final Fantasy or make the game isometric. I have to tilt my head by 45

Hey, didn't you post the UVII tiles somewhere? or was that athlor?
DJ_Omnimaga, SNES probably didn't have as good graphics hardware as DS/GBA. I might be wrong, but I wouldn't be surprised if the gfx hardware couldn't do the same amount of masking and transparency as GBA/DS. GBA/DS can do 3-4 layers of tiles with transparency and masking, which means you can put real isometric tiles on different layers and overlap them to produce a isometric tiles, when the hardware only accepts matrixes of square tiles.
