Re: Ultima VII: Revisited
#2Reminds me a little of the Ultima V - Lazarus[1] project, where volunteers re-implemented the entire game in the Dungeon Siege 3D engine. They also added tons of new characters and dialog, side quests, a richer plot, and new artwork and music. They did all this and managed to keep the major plot and game elements the same. They actually managed to greatly improve on what is unarguably :) the best Ultima of the series.
Re: Ultima VII: Revisited
#3Would any code from the Exult project be useful to help implement the gameplay?
Re: Ultima VII: Revisited
#4Looks cool. I loved Ultima II and III as a kid. Even wrote some text walk-throughs back then. Played them on Apple //e and //c, the last Apple products I ever owned (or ever will). I also ditched all Windows about 25 years ago.
I suppose to play on Linux though, I would need to run some Wine setup huh?

DOSBox if you want to run them locally, or a web browser if you want to play them immediately: https://archive.org/details/msdos_Ultima_III_-_Exodus_1983

I think Lazarus is one of the greatest game mods ever made. They even added the option to become an evil Avatar and side with Blackthorn.

#8this is just a recreation, not an expansion, but xu4 is playable on linux without wine.

#9It’s still isometric, luckily. I always wanted to have Ultima VII with Ultima VIII perspective, and this is kind of a superset of that.

#10Ultima online was my one and only Ultima and it’s weird to get pangs of nostalgia from Ultimas that I’ve never played.
