Ultima Underworld: The Stygian Abyss English translation
ウルティマ アンダーワールド · Ultima Underworld (PlayStation)
Gertius brings the English text of the PC original into the Japan-only PlayStation version of Ultima Underworld, and version 2.0 adds DualShock analog controls.
What's translated
The patch moves the English text of the original PC game into the PlayStation version: NPC conversations, descriptions of the game world, menus and images, and subtitles for the cinematics. Some lines had to be shortened to fit, most of all the Avatar's replies in conversations, which the console version limits to five short lines, and text that the game assembles on the fly was reworked to suit English word order.
Why play this version
The PlayStation release has its own movies, 3D monsters, anime portraits, a full-screen 3D view and menu-driven spells and replies, so no typing is needed.
What's new in 2.0
Version 2.0 adds DualShock support, with the left stick to move and strafe and the right stick to look around, plus quick attack and spell buttons in combat. It also tidies the line breaks and capitalization of the text and fixes a bug of the original where you could move in a different direction from the one you were facing. Earlier updates fixed crashes and broken conversations on several dungeon levels.
Playing it
The patch is for revision 1 of the Japanese disc and has been tested through to the end. Apply it to your own copy following the instructions on Gertius's GitHub page. In an emulator, set the controller to DualShock with analog enabled.
