* Upgrade Package (223.3 KB)

A team effort to upgrade Ultima 2 by the Exodus Project team, it includes a number of improvements to the original game, including EGA graphics (an improvement over the 4 color original), full-color tiles, lower-case text, better save game support, and hotkey support.

Additional files included here are Moonstone Dragon’s Galactic Patch (which adds maps for some of the inner planets) and Micro Dragon’s Speed Patch (which corrects the all-too-familiar divide-by-zero error).
