Ultima 7 in Windows?

trotski writes "In its day, Ultima 7 was one of the most complex and detailed RPG's ever made. Lets put it this way, in 1992 it required 20 mb of hard drive space and a 386 processor; cutting edge equipment that at the time retailed at well over $2000. Unfortunatly, until now getting Utlima 7 to run properly under win9X or worse, win2K or XP was heart-breaking. Fortunatly, someone has designed a utility that allows you to run this program under all versions of Windows as well as Linux! Very exciting for people out there who want to play this classic." Actually, Linux support seems to be only hypothetical at this point; along with the link to download the code is a note that says "Anyone who wishes to study the source code, or to port it to Linux or any other OS, is welcome to download this file."

At least a little on-topic... ;)

If you like classic adventure-games you should have a look at:

ScummVM: A reimplementation of the SCUMM-engine used by most classic Lucasarts-adventures like Monkey Island, Sam'n'Max, Day of the Tentacle, Loom etc... Works amazingly good! I finished Sam'n'Max (in Linux) just yesterday and it had no glitches at all! It also supports Simon the Sorcerer 1 and (soon) 2.

Sarien: A reimplementation of the AGI-engine used by the first-generation Sierra-games like Space Quest 1+2, Kings Quest 1-3, Leisure Suit Larry 1 etc..

FreeSCI: A reimplementation of the SCI-engine used by most second-generation Sierra-games like Space Quest 3, Kings Quest 4, Leisure Suit Larry 2+3 etc...
