Awe yis. Another thing to look forward to once I'm thoroughly done with Pillars of Eternity and Tides of Numenera.. erm, whenever those come out.

Go support them in Kickstarter, I implore you!

Nobody knows this game here?

I remember the underworld games. I didn't have my own pc at the time and so I didn't really get to play them for more than a few minutes.
One of the early bird slots freed up today so I snagged one of those.

Cool!! It's a superb game for its time. I bought a intel 386 (and a Soundblaster sound card) for this game, so it was pretty revolutionary at that time!

Just bumping it up again as they are at the final 2 days. Help them reach the $750K stretch goal so that we will have Lizardmen in the game. Come on Geekhack! Your Topre and LZ boards need to plug into this game!

I need a hype master like Elrick to hype this up. But I think he's more interested in keyboard :)

I have had successes with Kickstarter so far: Wasteland 2 and Divinity Original Sins. I think we have to be selective and with Underworld, they will deliver! These guys are Looking Glass alumni.
Edit: Looking Glass made Ultima Underworld, System Shock, Thief The Dark Project. And people like Warren Spector made Deus Ex and Ken Levine made Bipshock. These are people from Looking Glass!

Pay me and I'll support it ;)

Not too excited about this I guess... But I would totally lose my $%%t if they do a remake of Planescape Torment.
edit; well not a remake but good enough for me! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/inxile/torment-tides-of-numenera

This is awesome. I played all the ultima games back in the day. Even bought the massive box edition of ulitma IX ascension, which I still have. :thumb:
Really looking forward to this.

I remember it like it was yesterday. Got the game home, install it, went to play it and ...it crashed on start up.
Spent hours trying figure it out. Two of my friends had bought the game as well and had the same problem. Called tech support many times until days later they told me that the game had a bug and they were going to mail me a new disc. This was the good old days of the Internet, when it would take years to download a entire disc of data. A month later a new install disc arrives. Then a format and reinstall because of the botchery caused to windows by the pervious game install attempts. After that the game started...and it was horrible. Random glitches, freezes, crashes on saves, corupted save files but, it was "Ultima" so, I soldiered on. I made it half way though the game and called it. The game had so much potential but was not finished upon release.

This box is so huge. As a comparison to today's packaging. Must have cost me a bomb back then to ship this to Malaysia.
