These are actually just ports of other Ultima projects (linked below), but as I’ve never seen so many in one place at one time (and from one person!), they are classified not only as ports but as their own separate entry on Aiera.
The following projects have been ported to the Nokia 770/N800 internet tablets:
- Akalabeth – a port of Paul Robson’s SDL version of the game
- Ultima 4 – a port of xu4
- Ultima 5 – a port of Nazghul/Haxima
- Ultima 6 – a port of Nuvie
- Ultima 7 – a port of Exult
- Ultima 8 – a port of Pentagram
It serves to note that these ports are ongoing works, and it further serves to note that some of the projects that have been ported (Pentagram, for an easy example) are themselves incomplete. However, O Reader, if you use a Nokia 770/N800 internet tablet, and would like to be able to play some classic Ultima titles whilst on the go, this is likely a project for you!
thanks for the mention. i will do my best to be more active in 2008 and to continually improve these ports. the work is never-ending.
ultima 4 and 5 are very playable with dosbox. xu4 should get a command-ui rework sometime in 2008. haxima is lower on the list, but has great potential. exult is high on the priorities to rework the ui to be more playable. anyone is welcome to contribute.
Sounds excellent. I have added the project to me “regular check” listing of bookmarks, so as long as you occasionally post news of updates to the project site, I’ll be sure to notice and report them.
