    Seventeen years later, and the link is dead. That's rather sad.

    It's a shame that the System Shock games get so much attention while
    the older Underworld games languish forgotten. I'd love if Nightdive
    Studios managed to wrestle the license from EA and gave Underworld 1 a
    remake (even if all they did was provide a full-screen mode so I
    didn't have to perceive the world through a postage-stamp sized
    window).

    You can play UW using Dosbox fullscreen.

    The game can run full-screen, but the world-view is still about 1/3 of
    the screen. Imagine a remake of Underworld with the world-view taking
    up all of the screen, and the interface elements worked into a HUD.
    Proper mouselook - that is, being able to look up and down without
    using the keyboard - would be nice too ;-)

    But alas, Underworld is all but forgotten in favor of System Shock.
    Well, they are making a third in the series, but I wish the original
    would get its due as well.

    This guy seems to have gotten a little farther. He made a resource exporter and got the game to work using the Unity engine. Spent a few hours and got it to work and it's pretty impressive. He managed to get rid of a lot of the GUI clutter from the
    original. Check it out. Also trying to see if Jonathan Rimmer managed to get farther on his level editor. Would be great to have UW updated with higher res testures.

    Ok, I've begun process of updating this editor to Windows 10 using VB Net. So far, pretty straightforward. I'll try and update on my progress but might take a while. I previously did something similar with War in Middle Earth and process so far seems
    to be same, only difference is this is a 3D game.
