Trivia
- Akalabeth is considered "Ultima 0" by many and was included in the Ultima Collection in 1998.
- Developed during the summer of 1979 while Richard Garriot was a teenager working at ComputerLand in Clear Lake City, Texas.
- Copies were originally distributed by Garriot in plastic bags, before the rights were bought by California Pacific Computer in 1980.
- The original name was D&D28b, since it was based on Garriot's 28th game inspired by the Dungeons & Dragons ruleset.
- Since it was written in BASIC for the Apple II, the source code was easily modified by other users and developers to hack their characters.
