Releases:
* Client 0.2.3 (0 bytes)

While development on this project appears to have halted, it is a Sourceforge project so all the code should still be online. What Blackrock was supposed to be, and may one day be, was an online client for Ultima 7, much as Galleon Dragon has created for Ultima 6.

Currently, Razimus is trying to assemble a team with which to resurrect this project.

Releases:
* Version 0.1.0 (Windows) (0 bytes)
* Version 0.1.2 (*nix) (0 bytes)

This interesting collection of Ultima remakes offered a fully implemented engine for Akalabeth, and a partial engine for Ultima 1 as well. The current beta version is 0.1.2, and is hosted here for download. Akalabeth is fully playable now in UCR.

Featuring enhanced graphics and offering full compatibility with modern operating systems, this ambitious project aimed to re-create the first two Ultima trilogies, but has since disappeared from sight.

Eriadain was a module for BioWare‘s Neverwinter Nights that is based on the original storyline of Ultima 9: Ascension. This original storyline, also known as the Bob White Plot, was a much larger, more detailed plot that remained much more true to the Ultima tradition and the history of the series.

Moa Dragon has built a sizeable portion of the necessary map for this project, including much of the overworld and all of the dungeons. He has also implemented many of the scripts, although many of these are untested. Dialogues are incomplete and marked with placeholder conversations for the most part. The released module above should not be considered a demo for these reasons.

Sadly, Moa Dragon stopped working on Eriadain some time ago. However, he very enthusiastically shared the sum total of his completed work with Aiera in the hopes that someone might wish to pick up the module and run with it in the future.

* RPG-Maker 2000 Version (0 bytes)

Moa Dragon initially worked with Avatus Kingsman and Chlorthos Dragon on this remake of Ultima 9, which was supposed to have been based on the Bob White Plot. There were two demo versions of the game released before the team split up and Moa kept up the project under the Neverwinter Nights engine and the name Eriadain: an RPG-Maker 1995 version and an RPG-Maker 2000 version.

Releases:
* Pagan Demo (0 bytes)
* Demon Hak (0 bytes)
* CEP (not hosted locally)

This remake of Ultima 8, which is in no way related to the Ultima 8: Exile project, appeared on the Neverwinter Vault in August 2004 without any prior indication of its being worked on. The Red Mage appears to be making a faithful remake (nothing in the module seems to indicate that the Lost Vale will be making an appearence) of the game, and the module appears to have roughly half of Pagan mapped out.

The module requires Adam Miller’s Demon Hak to play, as well as the CEP and both official NWN Expansion Packs.

Releases:
* Shared Files (Nov. 11, 2002)
* Windows Build (Nov. 11, 2002)
* Source Code (Nov. 11, 2002)
* User Manual

This remake of Underworld 2 for Windows has not been active in some time, and seems only partly developed.

However, its SourceForge page is still active, and as such the latest build and source code are available.

Releases:
* TSSHP 0.2.10 (Win)
* Source
* SDL Graphics Library

While the link between System Shock and Ultima might seem…inobvious to many, it is actually less tenuous than it seems. One of the major similarities is the engines used by both games – it’s the same one. Oh, and apparently Warren Spector worked on System Shock 2.

Jim Cameron is working to reverse-engineer this rendering engine, and in doing so has put together a lot of technical information on the Underworld engine, and has also released an open-source version of it. Note that you’ll need the SDL Graphics Library to use it.

The project is now hosted through SourceForge, and development on it has resumed!

Downloads:
* Littoral 1.3.1 with documentation

This was the first new remake to go public in 2005, and it died almost as quickly as it arose. This Morrowind-based project aimed to create a faithful remake of Ultima 5.

Kevin Fishburne, before the project website went offline, completed and released Littoral, an incredibly powerful terrain-generation utility for Morrowind that would have sped his development process along handily, had the project remained active. It is available for download.

Website: Ultima Java
Releases:
* Ultima 1 Java 0.0.9

This ambitious project is an OS-independent engine for Ultima 1, written in Java and run through a website. It requires you to specify the path to the Ultima 1 data files (yes, you need to have the original game installed already) on your computer’s hard drive.

Initially, it seems the project was to include the ability to run Ultimas 1 through 5, although at the current time development seems to have halted.

Produced by: Peroxide
Website: Peroxide
Releases:
* Original Tech Demo
* Tech Demo 2.0
* Tech Demo 2.5.1 (Win)
* Tech Demo 2.5.1 (Linux)

This project began as an ambitious remake of Ultima 1. However, due to legal issues with EA, the project ceased to be a formal Ultima remake in January 2003.

However, Peroxide kept their stunning custom-made 3D engine alive a bit longer for a new project inspired by Ultima 1: ERA: The Arken Throne. This was supposed to be a published game, inspired by (but not actually) Ultima 1.

Sadly, Peroxide has shut ERA down. The team’s website now contains a message that seems to promise that they will reappear, with the ERA engine still in development and ERA under a new name.

Fortunately, Voyager Dragon managed to grab copies of the Ultima 1 Remake’s tech demos. Thanks also goes to Dino the Dark Dragon, who found a copy of tech demo 2.0.
