About IRE:

IRE is an attempt to create a cross-platform computer role-playing-game engine similar to Ultima 6.

IRE is a game engine based on Ultima 6, but with a more modern feature set.
The engine is open-source, under the BSD license.
It runs in 640x480 at 15bpp or higher and supports digital audio (including ogg-vorbis music where available). There is also support for special visual effects (e.g. spells etc).
The game is controlled by scripts which are compiled to interpreted code for extra portability.
Versions are available for DOS, Linux, BeOS and Win32.

Details about this version:

* Menu support.
* Ability to start the game from a saved position instead of beginning a new game and then reloading
* Allogg support under Linux (Free-speech music playback)
* Savegame support has been rewritten and hopefully works more reliably
* A bunch of (esoteric) new features to the script
* Video mode selection in Windows finally looks as good as other platforms
* Room blanking fixes
* LHS support under Linux
* Lots of miscellaneous bugfixes
