Hi, this is a basic question (please forgive me as I am new to computers after a 20 year absence). I can upload Ultima I but I can't get it off my screen when I have to end play. I have a Windows 8.1 Desktop PC. I know the answer will seem obvious to some of you but I can't work it out. When I press Q to quit it just says Quitting Saving Saved but the screen is still there. Is it because it is full screen? How do I change that? Sorry, this is a lot more questions than I expected. Please make an old man happy?

The thing with Ultima is that the "Quit" command basically just saves your progress. It simply expected you to turn off the computer when you wanted to stop playing. Of course, one wouldn't do that nowadays.
However, Ultima 1 runs in DOSbox, and you can close it by pressing CTRL+F9. This works for any game that's using DOSbox.
