Underworld Adventures - Ultima Underworld engine recreation

Post by MrFlibble »

I just learned about Underworld Adventures, an open source engine recreation project for Ultima Underworld which seems to be quite obscure for some reason. It was indefinitely suspended in 2007 but a quick check suggests that the latest build is quite functional. It supports both the full version and the demo. The project also includes a high-quality music pack.

Some screenshots:

A visit to the Ultima: The Reconstruction website revealed a few more engine recreations of Ultima Underworld:
o Abysmal Engine
o The System Shock Hack Project

Both aim to support System Shock as well as UU, and both appear long abandoned.

Looks like the project is still being developed, it has moved to a new site and an update was released in 2021:
