News from Jupp3 via MorphZone.
Ultima IV: Quest of the Avatar is the 4th instalment of the Ultima series by Richard Garriott originally released in 1985, and later ported to many platforms (including Amiga).
XU4 is an engine that can run the original datafiles, and also supports some enhancements.
NOTE: The game needs freely available additional data files to work. See readme.morphos for installation instructions!
The MorphOS port can be found here: xu4-1.0beta3 (http://jupp3.binaryriot.org/releases/ports/xu4-1.0beta3-morphos.lha)
You can read the original documentation online here: Ultima IV Documentation (http://paradroid.net/u4/docs.html)

I haven't played it too much, please tell me if you have any problems.
(Not that I wouldn't like the game - I started it on C64 quite a while ago, and intend to finish it there!)
Source archive coming after a while, currently I need to prepare for the last Stream Party this weekend...
