The gameplay of ''Akalabeth'' was fully incorporated into ''[[Ultima I: The First Age of Darkness]]'', released two years later. In the earlier game, floors are slightly smaller: 9×9 instead of 11×11 tiles. Also, quest monsters are found on random floors (still, always between 1 and 10) in ''Akalabeth'', whereas they will be on fixed levels in ''Ultima 1''. | The gameplay of ''Akalabeth'' was fully incorporated into ''[[Ultima I: The First Age of Darkness]]'', released two years later.
