Remakes and Engines
- Exult is the engine to use to run Ultima VII (Serpent Isle included) under virtually any modern platform. Read my review for more information.
- Ultima VII: Chronicles of Batlin is a new game using the Exult engine where you play as Batlin, and it takes place before the Avatar came upon Serpent Isle.
- Ultima 7: Blackrock is a project using the Exult engine which aims to remake The Black Gate and Serpent Isle, adding the long-forgotten Serpent Isle original plot and elaborating on elements in The Black Gate that could have been expanded further.
Summaries
