U4DosRandomizer VS scummvm

4.3) Not included in Pix's patcher (yet) is the Ultima 4 DOS Randomizer https://github.com/Fenyx4/U4DosRandomizer. Disclaimer: I wrote this. It is still in alpha and doesn't have a UI yet so isn't the most user friendly. It has lots of optional flags that can be applied WITHOUT needing to randomize the game. The fixes include all the conversation fixes from C64 and 1.01 and adds some other ones. Has an alternative Hythloth Fix. It also has flags for quality of life upgrades. But it isn't compatible with the Music patch yet. (And more fixes coming soon!)

u/d10sfan has added ScummVM port for Sanitarium to Luxtorpeda repos. Thanks to that, modern port of the game can be played as a Steam game.

SCUMM VM is now like that, plenty of Point and Click games https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm

It's a long shot, but some old games are available via https://www.scummvm.org/

Ultima 6 - I use ScummVM to play it. It's a great engine that provides a layer of UI compatibility over the game.

The game is "Beneath A Steel Sky", an old school point and click adventure. And though the graphics are pixel style, they are still very well done, and the game and story are still great. The emulator is ScummVM. There's some other games that were released as freeware.

ScummVM, which has been working on Adobe Director support, can detect the game (thank you @mistydemeo <3), but trying to run it will softlock you on the game's title screen, unable to click anything. It's likely this will be fixed in the future, but for now I can't recommend it for this particular game.
