Thank you Internet! You made my day!
 
 

Apparently there also is a port of the game to the Exult/Ultima 7
engine, it was in active development a while ago, dont know how far it is!

It's called "Ultima 6 Remake, and it's available here:
https://www.ultima6.realmofultima.com/

AFAIK, it's playable, albeit not without its share of bugs and maybe a
few missing things. But you can play the game to the end.

It's an interesting project and worth playing, but changing to the U7
engine brought a significant change to the style (both visually and
mechanically) of play, and I wanted to have a more 'pure' Ultima 6
experience.

As pointed out in another post, SCUMMVM also supports the Ultima games
too. In fact, SCUMM now uses NuVIe internally to run Ultima VI (from
what I understand, the version SCUMMVM uses is actually better
supported and more up-to-date than the stand-alone version).
