Gamers Making Retro Remakes. A group of engineers and artists in Denmark, who call themselves Peroxide, is attempting to remake Ultima I with 3D graphics and new game features. Peroxide claims to have gotten "permission" from one of the original game's developers, Richard Garriott.
"EA owns the rights to Ultima and all of its characters, and in this case, no permission was requested or granted," said Jeff Brown, an Electronic Arts spokesman. "As for Richard Garriott's approval, that's like getting permission from Toto to remake The Wizard of Oz."
