That is an awesomely cool set of rotating header images. I've also already wasted a few minutes trying to track down which Ulitma map that is to no avail.

Thanks, I thought it looked pretty cool to mix in some random OS screen shots with the Ultima VII intro animation. I screen capped a bunch of the animation to paste it all in to get the banner. I have 14 of them now, I started with a simple BIOS POST screen from PCem, and went from there...

Based on the black silhouettes I’d say it is Ultima VI, but it is hard to tell for sure.

I think it's actually a photoshopped combination. I found images of all of them, and none look quite right (and all details this is missing).

The monitor and map image (though not the screen contents obviously) are from the opening cutscene of Ultima VII.

lol I'm not that sophisticated, just the print-screen key + paint brush. Graphical artist, I'm not.
