It also may have shown some erroneous tiles on the map which I had to fix by hand with reference to the Secrets of Sosaria Clue Book. The Exodus Construction Set shows that there were monsters already generated on the Sosaria map and even an unopened treasure map. Unfortunately this also means that there is no clean copy of Version 1's Player Master disk. Therefore, I do not believe that there ever was a non-Mockingboard version of this game. My conclusion is that someone found the skull and crossbones version and decided to fix it to come as close to the original game as he or she could. Both "versions" can use each other's Player Master disk images but no others. There is no way that a Mockingboard music routine, or even the animated skull drawing routine fits into nine bytes. And those bytes are spread out across the image. There is exactly nine bytes difference between the two versions. I did a byte comparison between the skull and crossbones version of Ultima III on Asimov and the defective Mockingboard detection version of Ultima III on Asimov. nib/.woz format, so their incompatibility may be solely due to an emulator and they may be just two dumps of the same version.įinally, there is no joystick support in any version of Ultima III for the Apple II. dsk format and the later Mockingboard version is only in. woz/.nib images do not work well with each other. So in short, there may never have been a non-Mockingboard version of this game.

The 100 stats version may have faster monster spawning rates on the Sosaria map. It identifies two versions of Ultima III, and if the game starts you off with 100 stats, its Version 1 and if 150 stats, its version 2. I am inclined to think that the pirate version is because the scenario disk used by it is interchangeable with the scenario disk used by the Mockingboard version which behaves like it (non-skippable intro, 100 starting stats).Ī handy program is called Exodus Construction Set, which can edit maps and characters and such. So there may be four versions of this game, unless the pirate version is just a crippled hack of this Mockingboard version. Was this something Origin changed early on to slightly ease the starting difficulty or was this a byproduct of the crack or some damage to the disk?Īctually, I found a Mockingboard version which behaves like the pirate crack but doesn't have the pirate skull animation. One thing I noticed is that with this pirated version, characters start out with 100/100/100 HP/Food/Gold whereas Mockingboard and Trilogy and all versions for other systems give you 150/150/150 HP/Food/Gold. But the box and its scans are not the earliest as shown by the references to the Apple //c, a computer from 1984. The available scan Players Reference Card, , identifies the behavior of the Mockingboard version. The Mockingboard versions display "Insert Scenario Disk". Second, once the animation is over, the pirate version displays a "Insert Game Disk-1,2" message. First, you cannot bypass any part of the four title screen animations by pressing a key. This version has a few differences from the Mockingboard versions. The only available disk image for the Non-Mockingboard version, from Asimov or elsewhere, is a pirated version with an animated skull on the title screen : ![]() None of the Player Master disks are compatible which each other. Ultima III requires you to save characters to a scenario disk, a copy of the Player Master disk. The first was without Mockingboard support, the second added Mockingboard support and the third was released with the Ultima Trilogy and weirdly adds joystick support. No Apple II or Macintosh computer is too old for us.Ultima III was supposedly released in three versions for the Apple II.
