xu4 (Ultima IV remake)
|
|
|
|
XU4 is a remake of the computer game Ultima IV. The goal is to make
|
|
it easy and convenient to play this classic on modern operating
|
|
systems.
|
|
|
|
XU4 isn't a new game based on the Ultima IV story -- it is a faithful
|
|
recreation of the old game, right up to the crappy graphics. If you
|
|
are looking for a game with modern gameplay and graphics, this is not
|
|
it -- yet. New features that improve the gameplay and keep with the
|
|
spirit of the original game will be added.
|
|
|
|
The package includes the Ultima 4 graphics upgrade. To use it, press
|
|
Escape while the game is running to get to the Game Modules menu, then
|
|
select U4 Upgrade, and click "Play".
|
|
|
|
This package can be built with optional extras. See README-SBo.txt
|
|
for details, and also for Slackware-specific notes.

Copyright notice: The file ultima4.zip is included in this package. This
|
|
file and its contents have a proprietary license and MAY NOT be
|
|
redistributed. You may download it from the original site, but not give
|
|
out copies of it yourself (including binary packages built from this
|
|
SlackBuild, since they include ultima4.zip).
|
|
|
|
If you have trouble downloading ultima4.zip from the URL listed
|
|
in the .info file, you can instead download UltimaIV.zip from
|
|
http://www.ultimaforever.com/ (registration required, JavaScript
|
|
browser required, no direct download URL). It's a different packaging
|
|
of the same content; the script is smart enough to build a package
|
|
from either release of Ultima 4. You might also be able to download it
|
|
from GoG.com, but the SlackBuild author hasn't tested this.
