LairWare's Ultima III is a modern Macintosh update of a classic computer fantasy role playing game which helped define the genre. Create a party of four adventurers, slay wandering evil beasts, and talk to townspeople to find out about the evil that has come over the once-peaceful land of Sosaria. Hear the villagers speak to you with speech synthesis, and a beautiful original soundtrack accompanies you on your journeys.

Ultima inspired dozens games that used the same concepts.

With each Ultima, the bar was raised for the role-playing standard. No matter how the video game industry tries to compensate for a lack of good gameplay in their titles with 3D graphics, digital video, and multi-CD installs, they just can't capture the addictive simplicity of role playing pioneers like Ultima III.

What's New:
Many graphics now 32-bit (millions of colors).
Party organization now has a more friendly Mac interface.
Manage inventory with your mouse on Character Stats screens.
Optionally switches display to low resolution (640x480 pixels) for you. (Power Mac feature only)
Minor improvements and bug fixes.
