So…in addition to an updated version of IDOS 2 being available on the iOS App Store, it turns out that the original IDOS is also available once again.

Now, installing games in this version of IDOS is a bit more involved, and I can’t actually test it on my iDevices because they’re all running far-too-modern versions of iOS (IDOS doesn’t work — if memory serves — well on iOS 6 or later). But as near as I can understand it, you can get custom games running on it by using iFunBox to sideload DOS games into it.

But…if you’ve got an older iPod Touch or iPad on hand, this might be a fine way to get the Ultima games running on it.
