Eternal X counts, then. EMR 3 could be like that, but instead they 
distribute it as braindead platform specific installers. They also don't 
allow modification/redistribution (despite the fact that the scenario 
wouldn't even exist if others hadn't allowed the same with their own 
works) so you can't make a sane zip file out of it. There is a Linux .sh 
installer if you want to try to extract the useful bits out of that :/

There are some Unimaps that Mark Newland made on fileball, look in here:

Looks like the ones with "Unimap" in the name should work.
