Ultima V: Warriors of Destiny (1988)

Ultima V is actually Chris Roberts' first credit at Origin Systems. His role in the project was largely support, but he was listed as one of the game's designer in the finished release.

Ultima V: Warriors of Destiny is the fifth entry in the role-playing video game series Ultima and was released by Origin in 1988. Ultima V: Warriors of Destiny, sixth installment in the series, is a major step up from previous Ultima games in many ways, and it's difficult to recognize the first ages of darkness here in such a highly polished piece of software. The most immediately obvious change is the new-found depth of the storytelling and the complexity of the game's plot.

Trivia:

Following Origin Systems tradition, players can actually find and interact Chris in the game itself! He appears as a farmer named Christopher (aka Dibbs) in West Brittany. Here is explaining that he's working on something called Times of Lore (see Part 8), the first game he released at Origin!
