Ultima Ports for Nokia 770/M800

Filed under AK Remakes, Akalabeth, U4 Remakes, U5 Remakes, U6 Remakes, U7 Remakes, U8 Remakes, Ultima 4, Ultima 5, Ultima 6, Ultima 7, Ultima 8

Produced by: Arnim Sauerbier

Releases:
* Akalabeth (33.59 KB)

* Ultima 4 - xu4 (1.85 MB)

* Ultima 7 - Exult - Program (1.01 MB)
* Ultima 7 - Exult - Data (14.01 MB)
* Ultima 7 - Music (low-quality mono) (12.5 MB)
* Ultima 7 - Music (higher-quality stereo) (28.71 MB)

* Ultima 8 - Pentagram - Program (766.23 KB)
* Ultima 8 - Pentagram - libSDL (16.17 KB)
* Ultima 8 - Pentagram - INI file (998 bytes)

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!

Nuvie

Last updated: August 29th, 2007

Filed under MD Remakes, Martian Dreams, SE Remakes, Savage Empire, U6 Remakes, Ultima 6

Produced by: Eric Fry
Website: Nuvie at Sourceforge
Releases:
* Windows Snapshot (32-bit) (1.11 MB)
* Mac OSX 10.3 Snapshot (751.72 KB)
* Mac OSX 10.4 Snapshot (1.69 MB)

Eric Fry’s novel remake of the Ultima 6 engine is also going to be compatible with Savage Empire and Martian Dreams. Though currently being developed under Mac OSX, there are downloadable binaries for both Windows and Mac OS X 10.3 (the developer feels these snapshots might also work under earlier versions of OSX, however this is untested. It is the opinion of Aiera that they will not, simply because of some key API changes that exist between OSX 10.2 and 10.3).

The program source code is also available. Linux users will have to compile Nuvie from source.

Ultima 6 Online

Last updated: March 9th, 2007

Filed under Engines, Online Remakes, Spin-offs, U6 Remakes, Ultima 6

Produced by: Galleon Dragon
Website: Galleon Dragon
Releases:
* Client (3.16 MB)
* Client (RAR) (2.21 MB)

Galleon Dragon’s ambitious re-creation of Ultima 6 takes the game into the online realm, allowing you to play against other Ultima fans. It also implements many of the quest features of the game.

As with most remakes that use the original graphics for the game, this remake requires the original game data files to be installed on your hard drive.

Ultima 6 for Exult

Last updated: March 5th, 2007

Filed under Exult Total Conversions, U6 Remakes, Ultima 6

Produced by: mikefictiti0us
Website: Exult Forum Discussion
Releases:
* Ultima 6 Patch (3.65 MB)

This ambitious retooling of Exult aims to modify the Ultima 7 game world and story into that of Ultima 6. Apparently being undertaken by a single person, the early screenshots look very promising. While Ultima 7’s tile graphics lack the vivacity of colour that was seen in Ultima 6, the attention to detail that mikefictiti0us has put into areas like the Throne Room and Nystul’s Lab is very promising.
