This is a multiplayer version of Ultima IV. The remake attempts to maintain the look-and-feel of the 1985 original.

Every effort has been made to maintain the original look and feel of the game released in 1985. So, for those of you expecting a rich, three-dimensional environment with cinematic footage that pushes your video card to the bursting point, this game may not be right for you! However, if you are looking for a game that can truly immerse and impress you without next year's top gaming computer, then you probably already know that you're in the right place.
