Ultima 1 Remade & Reborn

Posted by Hemos on from the this-time-without-the-britishing dept.

sheetsda writes "A company called Peroxide Entertainment(a freeware company) is remaking Ultima 1 under the title Ultima 1 - A Legend is Reborn. They're using their own engine, 'featuring most of the goodies you'd expect of a modern commercial 3d engine in the market' and recycling the overall plot but adding details."

    Yeah, but what I'd really like to see is a 3D first person updating of that old Apple II, etc, classic "Castle Wolfenstein"... er... never mind.

  4. That's not my Ultima I by consumer · · Score: 3, Funny

    Ultima I was a great game, and I ground my Apple II+ floppy drives to dust playing it. I fondly remember outrageous playability bugs like stealing in town and then killing absolutely everyone in it with the sci-fi weapons that become available at one point. I also remember the cool downview graphics that looked like they were done with nothing fancier than a custom font. Remaking this game in 3D would rob of it of its charm.
