An anonymous reader writes "20 years after the original game launched, a fan-developed Ultima 6 remake has finally been released! The Ultima 6 Project was formed in 2001 by Sliding Dragon to develop a remake of Origin's Ultima VI: The False Prophet with newer graphics and a more immersive engine. Soon assembled under the banner Archon, the team members, who hail from all over the globe, have set about recreating the world of Britannia, adding an enhanced storyline to bolster intraseries continuity and building on the Ultima legacy in a way that will please fans new and old."

Nope...just slashdotted. It's responding again now.
They should probably release a torrent version to cut down on the server loads.

Crap. Don't have my Dungeon Siege disks anymore
On a related note, Ultima VII (which you can play on modern PCs w/ shinies using the Exult engine [sourceforge.net]) is still the best Ultima of all time - its NPC AI was revolutionary for having rotating schedules and jobs, which Oblivion & Fallout 3 copied.

This is an extension of the Ultima V Lazarus code. It is many of the same team members.
