When I was young, one of my favorite PC game series was Ultima by

. I loved the world-building and philosophical aspects, and I actually learned a lot of English from playing them.
And then there were the maps; both in-game, and these physical copies.
As a kid, I loved poring over atlases, and so when I started to play Ultima (around the time of VII / VIII), I was fascinated by these beautiful cloth maps that came with the box. Amazingly, they matched the game world with a highly accurate level of detail, and I would use them while playing.
It's no surprise I became a geographer and mapmaker later in life
So recently, I decided to start collecting them, and here is my current collection, ranging from IV to IX, including the Underworld and Ultima Online offshoots.
Thought to share for anyone who might appreciate this!
