  • Ultima-Underworld-Portable

    Portable launcher for Ultima Underworld (1992) and Ultima Underworld 2 (1993) containing optional enhancement mods.

  • Personally I'd recommend using Ultima Underworld Portable though. Last time I checked the GOG release still had mouse and sound issues. This fixes both, comes with MT-32 ROMs so the music's now good. And it has a toggle for modern wasd+mouselook controls in the launcher. Until hell freezes over and the source code leaks it's the best way to play both games today.

  • UnderworldExporter

    Discontinued Updated Release 27th Oct 2018 Unity based port of Ultima Underworld I and II. Download under releases

  • I've never used Portable, but I've had good luck with Underworld Exporter. It's a unity port primarily for underworld 1, but underworld 2 is being worked on again as of this year.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
