SyndicateandUltima Underworldhave returned to GOG. The classics and their sequels were removed from the service back in June for unclear reasons, but are back now and for the “foreseeable future.” Better still, they’re all free to keep if you grab them anytime during the next four weeks.

That includes Bullfrog’sSyndicateand its American Revolt expansion, sequelSyndicate Wars, and Origin’sUltima Underworld 1 and 2.
I’ve never played theUltimaseries, but Syndicate was a formative illicit thrill when I was a kid. I think the only thing I ever did in it was take pot shots at police cars, then steal the police cars, then use them to run over women with prams. This might be why I’ve yet to tell my own kid that videogames exist.
Would I recommend you play any of these games in the here and now? Probably not! They’re historically interesting and I am glad that they are both available outside of EA’s Origin, but there are a lot of games to be playing, aren’t there? Six or seven, at least.
