  • endless hours spent as a teen and love that it's still being played and updated!
  • Waste of time. Tried old and new source build. Both require DOS files that can no longer be obtained by any method other than theft. The "dos product" obviously is no longer sale-able and not for sale.

    The DOS game has been freely and legally available from Good Old Games and various Ultima Dragon sites for many years. https://www.gog.com/en/game/ultima_iv_quest_of_the_avatar
  • I think XU4 is a great project, and definite kudos have to go out to everyone involved for putting it all together. Lots of new features and options have been added that are sure to appeal to many players. It has a lofty goal and has nearly reached that. However, the key word is 'nearly'. It is simply not finished, and does not offer an authentic Ultima IV experience. It is similar, but not the same. There are only a few small points which still differ from the original experience, but until those are fixed I would recommend running Ultima IV from dosbox. There is still a lot of potential, but until it can give a player a true, original experience, alongside new features for convenience, speed, ease etc., it is sadly incomplete.
  • Great work on improving graphics and sound on a classic RPG
  • Excellent game, excellent morals, excellent update/upgrade, excellent re-creation, excellent engine, excellent tools, excellent cross platform, excellent low-end system requirements, all my clients get a copy and are encouraged to support the project.
