* Ultima III Gold (170.75 KB)
This project is an improved version of Ultima 3 for the Commodore 64. Notably, it features optimized code and fits on a single disk side, and the save system has been revamped. Trainers have been improved, and even little fixes have found their way in — it is possible, for example, to buy more than one dagger at a time.

* Test Release (March 27, 2004) (184.13 KB)
An ambitious attempt to port Ultima 3 to Windows. Headed by Render Dragon, this port will (when complete) incorporate high-resolution tilesets, variable resolution modes, and possibly mp3 audio.
The project’s initial aim is to create a raw port of Ultima 3. Following that, Render and his team hope to implement the multiple resolutions, high-res graphics, and in-game documentation. The final project stage is the development of some form of isometric engine, to bring Ultima 3 to us in a never-before-seen way!

* 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.

Proving once again that Ultima 3 is one of the most cross-platform games out there, this is a novel version of the game for the Game Boy Color. In addition to the complete quest to destroy Exodus, Sven has added a second quest in a custom map of Sosaria that immediately follows the normal game.
