Releases:
* Ultima 3 Demo (241.4 KiB, 72 hits)

This novel port of to the 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 on your , 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 , or find Exotic items. The full-version can be purchased from the developer.

Ultima 3 for Mac

   Posted by: Withstand the Fury Dragon    in U3 Remakes, Ultima 3

Produced by: Lair Ware
Website: LairWare Ultima III
Releases:
* Demo v1.3 - suitable for 68k Macs (2.8 MiB, 83 hits)
* Demo v1.4.2 (3.7 MiB, 70 hits)
* Ultima 3 for Mac OS X (4.5 MiB, 88 hits)
* Ultima 3 for Mac OS X Cheater (296.4 KiB, 77 hits)

This stunning port of to the intosh 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 (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 Mac Emulator is your best bet.

There was also a Mac 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 .

The game, as with the Mac version, cannot be completed without registering (specifically, it prevents you from reaching ), which still costs only $15. For a professionally-done, classical graphics remake, that’s a reasonable fee indeed.
