Exult is a game engine for the classic RPG, Ultima 7, which allows the game to be played on modern operating systems. The game, originally released in the early 1990s, had a non-standard memory manager that made it difficult to run on modern computers.
Exult aims to overcome this issue by using C++ programming language and the SDL library to create an engine that can run on various platforms like Linux, Mac OS X and Windows.
The current version of Exult supports both "Ultima 7: The Black Gate" and "Ultima 7 part 2: The Serpent Isle" allowing players to complete both games. The engine is made possible due to the work of other fans who have decoded the game's data files.
Exult requires that you own a legal copy of "Ultima 7: The Black Gate" and/or "Ultima 7: Serpent Isle" to use it, and encourages players to acquire a legal copy.
Features
