* Ultima 3 Map Editor (Mac) (325.8 KB)
* Ultima 3 Character Editor (Mac) (24.46 KB)
A pair of utilities - a map editor and character editor for the Macintosh port of Ultima 3. Keep in mind that the only available port of Exodus currently available for Mac is not freeware, and must be purchased from its vendor online (see the Ultima 3 page).
Also keep in mind that these editors are quite dated now, and may only work under the Classic environment on Mac OS X.

* Ultima 3 Demo 1.0.3 (241.42 KB)
This novel port of Ultima 3 to the PalmOS offers a number of improvements over the original game, including the addition of a party-system - you can have up to a 4-person party. This version also features top-down dungeon navigation (instead of the forward-facing view of the originals) and battle sequences. Now you can battle monsters and overthrow the hellspawn Exodus on your PDA, as long as you have PalmOS 5 or better.
This development does come at a price, however, because this port is shareware. There is a demo available for download, but the noteable limitations in it are that you cannot purchase food, reach Ambrosia, or find Exotic items. The full-version can be purchased from the developer.

Releases:
* Demo v1.4.2 (3.66 MB)
* Demo v1.3 (2.79 MB) - suitable for 68k Macs
* Ultima 3 for Mac OS X (4.51 MB)
* Ultima 3 for Mac OS X Cheater (123.03 KB)
This stunning port of Ultima 3 to the Macintosh features 32-bit graphics, 3D-rendered fountains and shrines, the friendly Macintosh interface, and a wonderful musical score. It is shareware, so you will need to buy the full version from Lair Ware (current price: $15 USD) in order to be able to complete the game.
For those of you who don’t have a Mac but want to give this one a try, the Basilisk Mac Emulator is your best bet.
There was also a Mac OS X beta version of the software that was released in March 2007. During its beta, LairWare asked that no external site host a copy of the beta for download, but since it has now gone to market release I have added a download to Aiera.
The game, as with the Mac version, cannot be completed without registering (specifically, it prevents you from reaching Ambrosia), which still costs only $15. For a professionally-done, classical graphics remake, that’s a reasonable fee indeed.
