+nanochess Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 (edited) Hi all! It is my great pleasure to announce that my port of Akalabeth for Intellivision will be available at the PRGE 2024. I've completed the quest imposed on me by the mighty Lord British and Lord @Albert in order to retrieve this JPG of the final box from the darkest dungeons! The cover art is by Denis Loubet who did the box art for the first Akalabeth game for Apple II, and the box has been created by @BitJag. The music of the game has been composed by @Nyuundere . Enjoy it! Edited September 3 by nanochess 35 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+intvsteve Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 In my youth when I moved away from Intellivision to PC games, eventually I became a *HUGE* Ultima fan -- and Akalabeth was the seed from which all those incredible games sprouted. This is going to be awesome!!! Thank you for undertaking this quest, Oscar. Send our thanks to Al, too! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+wavemotion Posted Monday at 03:26 PM Share Posted Monday at 03:26 PM @nanochess Óscar - any possibility of there being a ROM for sale for those of us who enjoy dungeon crawling on our emulator devices? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a possibility that Atariage is considering. Al has commented that the Atariage store first needs a revamp to handle digital downloads. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
