This project, meanwhile, is also a detailed re-creation of the four arenas — Fire, Water, Air and Earth — in the Pits of Carnage from Ultima Underworld 2…but using Unreal Tournament instead.

In UW2, the Pits of Carnage were a place from which no escape was possible, and in which the only passtime was selecting enemies to duel with. If that isn’t the ideal context for a set of multiplayer maps for a top-rate first-person shooter, I don’t know what is.

Naturally, the maps also require Unreal Tournament to play. Copies of the game for [amazonify]B00001XDKO::text::::Windows[/amazonify], [amazonify]B00005A3LG::text::::Mac[/amazonify], and [amazonify]B000083JWW::text::::Linux[/amazonify] can still be found online, though they won’t necessarily be cheap or in stock in large quantities. You can also find the game for direct download on Steam or Impulse/Stardock. (If you want to support Aiera a little bit, buy it through Stardock.) You can also get it at GOG (of course!).
