I mean the original game would remain as is, nobody is going to burn it. At the same time, if there would be a remake, you can choose which one you want to play. You probably have never played UU (early 1990-s), but it was 3D and had pretty advanced controls. The game is a classic and one of the best RPG ever made IMHO, if not the best.
Ultima Underworld - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The 3D engine used was advanced for its time, featuring a texture mapped environment and polygonal objects. Lighting featured prominently in both games.
An enhanced version of the engine used in the games was later used for System Shock.
ID has stated that the ideas of making Wolfenstein 3D and DOOM were both inspired by press coverage of Ultima Underworld's development versions.
The Elder Scrolls series was initially inspired by Ultima Underworld.
The 2002 game Arx Fatalis was heavily influenced by the Ultima Underworld series. The developers of Arx Fatalis, Arkane Studios, have stated that Arx Fatalis was actually intended to be Ultima Underworld III, however they could not obtain a license for the UW name.
This game deserves a remake.

Look at Pac-Man, it kept getting better with the graphics, but still the best game of Pac-Man was the original 2D yellow circle dot eating ghost-a-phobe in a blue maze. As it became more graphically advanced, the game started to suck more and more.

I played the original one (and even a beta-version
) on my old trusty 286 and enjoyed it a lot. I had no clue it was still around.
