Andrew Owen recently posted an update to the Ultima Dragons Facebook page in which he announced that he had uploaded a handful of screenshots from the introduction sequence of Ultima 3.5: Pax Britannia, the prequel to Ultima 4 that he is working on coding for the ZX Spectrum:

U3.5 update: I’ve created an album on my ZX Spectrum page:

I expect to have the character generator finished this year (because I’ve written all the dialog and worked out the mechanics). The actual game is going to take a lot longer. The observant will spot that the graphics are based on the MSX version of Ultima IV.

The screenshots now also grace the Pax Britannia project entry, so that those of you who avoid Facebook can nevertheless enjoy their delightfully retro look and feel. As he notes above, Andrew is also working on a character generator for the game, although he is evidently finding it difficult to write ethical dilemas that properly account for amoral player choices.
