XU4 is a remake of the computer game Ultima IV. The goal is to make
it easy and convenient to play this classic on modern operating
systems. XU4 is primarily inspired by the much more ambitious project
Exult.
XU4 isn't a new game based on the Ultima IV story -- it is a faithful
recreation of the old game, right up to the crappy graphics. If you
are looking for a game with modern gameplay and graphics, this is not
it -- yet. New features that improve the gameplay and keep with the
spirit of the original game will be added.
XU4 also tries to maintain strict compatibility with the original for
its savegame files. You can use a game saved in XU4 with the original
and vice versa, at least in theory.
