This is actually a comprehensive collection of utilities and in-progress remakes of Ultima titles, all done in the Neverwinter Nights engine. The list of utilities is pretty comprehensive, including functional moongates (with Orb of the Moons!), NPC scheduling, animated potions, a conversation system to replace the default NWN system, and a very good reproduction of the venomous dagger of Ultima 7 fame.
But even more promising is the list of remakes that are being put together by this team and others. Currently in progress are remakes of Ultima 1, Ultima 7 (which provides the screenshot here), Ultima 8, Savage Empire, and Martian Dreams. Most of these seem still to be in the early stages of development, but the Ultima 7 remake — which deals, it seems, only with the events of The Black Gate at present — looks to have progressed somewhat further.
Here is hoping, then, that this collective set of efforts bears much fruit in the future! As the projects progress, I’ll probably break off each remake into its own standalone entry. For now, this one omnibus entry will suffice.

Releases:
* Ultima 1 Demo 1.0.3 (220.55 KB)
This novel port of Ultima 1 to the PalmOS offers a number of improvements over the original game, including the addition of a party-system - you can have up to a 4-person party. This version also features top-down dungeon navigation (instead of the forward-facing view of the originals) and battle sequences. Now you can battle monsters and overthrow the wizard Mondain on your PDA, as long as you have PalmOS 5 or better.
This development does come at a price, however, because this port is shareware. There is a demo available for download, but the noteable limitations in it are that you cannot purchase food, and you cannot reach Mondain. The full-version can be purchased from the developer.

Releases:
* Graphics Patch (38.73 KB)
Ultima 1 is an old game, and the routine it uses to display graphics (out.exe) occasionally encounters glitches with some graphics cards that cause the graphics to lose colour and eventually get garbled. This patch will correct most of those errors.
