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.
