About

Utopia is William Demas's adventure, ported to the Apple IIgs in October 2026 by Antoine Vignau and Olivier Zardini of Brutal Deluxe. All life in the galaxy is ending, and you have to find the haven of Utopia. The ship crashes on a strange planet with Utopia across a magical lake. Their write-up describes over 50 locations and 80 objects. James Hewitt drew the pictures. The name on the Unicorn Software cover is a typo.

Demas first released it on the TRS-80 in 1981 as Forbidden Planet Part I, also called Talking Adventure #1, with speech and no pictures. He ported it to the Macintosh 128K in 1985, dropped the speech, and Unicorn Software published it as Utopia. Brutal Deluxe rewrote the game in 65816 from a disassembly of the Macintosh code. The other half of the pair, Forbidden Planet Part II, is the IIgs port Futuria, listed separately. The music is the same recording Futuria uses, A. Amendola's Giacea nel proprio sangue, from mutopiaproject.org under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 license, converted with Dave Tribby's MIDI Synth tools.

Commands are verb and noun. SAVE GAME and LOAD GAME keep a session, QUIT leaves, and CHEAT stops you from dying. The disk is an 800K ProDOS image. Launch UTOPIA from the Finder. Get the disk from the Brutal Deluxe product page, which has the current version. Their English walkthrough is there too, and the source is on GitHub.
