Akalabeth: World of Doom was the predecessor to the Ultima Series, although there appears to be some debate as to where it fits in the Ultima Timeline. According to what has become the accepted Ultima Timeline, Akalabeth occurs before the Ultima series begins with Ultima 1. However, Trigon Dragon's site observes that the game could well fit in between Ultima 1 and Ultima 2, as it seems to involve only cleaning up a rash of monsters after Mondain's death.

Written entirely in BASIC, Akalabeth was originally released in 1980, on 5 1/4" diskettes and on cassette. It was re-released in 1980 (exclusively on 5 1/4" diskette) and again in 1981 (on 5 1/4" diskette).
