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 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. Note for users upgrading from Slackware 14.1 to 14.2: if the game won't start after the upgrade, see README-SBo.txt for the solution. This package can be built with optional extras. See README-SBo.txt for details. Copyright notice: The file ultima4.zip is included in this package. This file and its contents have a proprietary license and MAY NOT be redistributed. You may download it from the original site, but not give out copies of it yourself (including binary packages built from this SlackBuild, since they include ultima4.zip). If you have trouble downloading ultima4.zip from the URL listed in the .info file, you can instead download UltimaIV.zip from http://www.ultimaforever.com/ (registration required, JavaScript browser required, no direct download URL). It's a different packaging of the same content; the script is smart enough to build a package from either release of Ultima 4.
