CRPG
: “If you like roguelikes or the top-down, 2d, turn-based
CRPG’s that disappeared in the early 90’s then this is for you.” I

and source is available if you want to compile it on
Unix/Linux. This could be what I’ve been waiting for–a good Ultima
IV/V-like game engine that users can create their own games with!
