Another -based remake, this high-profile (and high-tech) project aims to re-create , adding many of the same features to the game that Lazarus added into : enhanced music, expanded storyline, new characters and additional side quests.

The project has been in the works for a number of years, but their development pace has seemed to surge ahead in the last year or so; they’ve achieved several milestone releases since first being posted to , each one adding vast amounts of additional functionality to the game.

These are actually just ports of other 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 .

The following projects have been ported to the 770/N800 internet tablets:

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 (, 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!

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

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

Produced by: Galleon Dragon
Website: Galleon Dragon
Releases:
* U6O Client (3.2 MiB, 42 hits)
* U6O Client (RAR) (2.2 MiB, 33 hits)

Galleon Dragon’s ambitious re-creation of 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.

However, the game also features a number of graphical improvements which build off of the original game data, such as higher-resolution objects and transparent atmospheric effects.

Ultima 6 for Exult

   Posted by: Withstand the Fury Dragon Tags: , , ,


Produced by: mikefictiti0us
Website: Exult Forum Discussion
Releases:
* Ultima 6 Patch (3.7 MiB, 59 hits)

This ambitious retooling of Exult aims to modify the game world and story into that of . Apparently being undertaken by a single person, the early screenshots look very promising. While Ultima 7’s tile graphics lack the vibrant 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.
