Underworld Adventures for MorphOS
=================================

Underworld Adventures is an open-source recreation of the engine behind
Ultima Underworld: The Stygian Abyss (Blue Sky Productions / Origin, 1992).
It reads the files of the original game and plays them in 3D with OpenGL.

The engine was unfinished. For this port the game rules were written anew:
doors, combat, creatures, magic, inventory, conversations and the main plot.

This version plays Ultima Underworld 1 only, not Ultima Underworld 2.

THIS ARCHIVE CONTAINS NO GAME DATA. You supply it yourself, see below.


SUPPLYING THE GAME DATA
-----------------------
Copy the files of the PC version into the uw1 drawer, whole: everything that
sits next to UW.EXE (CRIT, CUTS, DATA, SOUND). The GOG release and an original
install both work.


HOW TO RUN IT
-------------
Copy the UWAdv drawer on a writable volume and double-click the UWAdv icon.
Screen resolution and fullscreen are set in uwadv.cfg.


GOOD TO KNOW
------------
- Trading has no window: the objects shown to a character are chosen for you.
  An object held on the mouse pointer is offered first.
- There is no MIDI music on MorphOS: only a few tracks play.
