Ultima Underworld - The Stygian Abyss

The Isle of the Avatar was discovered during the Fourth Age (as related in Quest of the Avatar), at the climax of the Avatar’s quest. The Stranger from Another World, who came to Britannia in answer to Lord British’s summons, completed the Test of the Eight Virtues and became the Avatar — the embodiment of the pure axiom of life.
It was during his journeys that the Avatar unearthed a chilling artifact: the skull of Mondain the Wicked, the first of the Triad of Evil. There were those who claimed that the artifact held the power to destroy all life on our world. Fortunately, it was the Stranger who discovered it, and not someone of lesser Virtue.
Upon completing the Path of the Eight Virtues, the Avatar embarked on a search for the Codex of Ultimate Wisdom. Legend linked this ancient tome with the subterranean maze known as the Great Stygian Abyss. “Truly, no one has ever plumbed its depths,” wrote Shamino, who arranged by magic to obtain a map of its corridors. “I cannot imagine the horrors that await the first to venture into the Stygian depths.”

7/23/2011 2:18:00 PM - Mystery Keeper : I had problems with summon spell (KAL MANI) in many versions. It not only not creates creatures, but also makes some (vital) NPC vanish. Does it work in this version?
7/12/2011 2:32:00 PM - Rallsk : It's been nearly twenty years since I last played this game (never completed it, sad to say) and I've just killed my first rotworm - sheer bliss! It's a shame most of the modern game companies don't make their games with the same level of care and thought that Origin did. Oh well, back to rotworm baiting... :-)
7/2/2011 11:50:00 AM - FreeGameEmpire : I have just patched the game to vF1.875S.
6/28/2011 7:27:00 PM - : @Druid: Several UW remake projects have come and gone, none of them approached playable before being abandoned. The levels have been made into maps for Unreal, and also Morrowind I've heard but I have not seen those personally. The best thing you're going to get as a modern remake is a game called Arx Fatalis, which was written and pitched as Ultima Underworld 3, but rejected, so remains as a "spiritual successor", very similiar in theme.
6/28/2011 7:18:00 PM - Mike Ratzlaff : This is an older version, vF1.50S It has the dreaded inventory bug - if you are playing, and suddenly notice your items have changed into other items (often times ungettable items, like a pool of blood or a spell effect) then you have been struck by this bug. This bug can destroy quest-required items, making the game unwinnable. FGE, please put a patched version of this game up! IIRC, vF1.875S is the latest version released. You can see the version by pressing ALT-F7 while in the dungeon.
6/10/2011 4:38:00 AM - Druid : Would be great to re-release this with better graphics and smoother gameplay. Kind of like they did with Monkey Island!
2/21/2011 12:10:00 PM - mtvgnoll2 : Played this game with friend in college that was some 16 years ago. It still rocks and i never tire of running different types of characters for it. Wish FGE would add the sequel. Unerworld labyrinth of worlds.
8/11/2010 6:39:00 PM - gueran : Great game. would be nice that someone change the game into an online playable engine for everyone to play in modern operating systems.
