To get around it hit the “More Info” text on the dialog and then a “Run Anyways” button will appear. There is a really good chance Windows is going to throw up a window letting you know this executable may be dangerous. Double-click u2upw or u2upw.exe in C:\games\ultima2. Copy the contents of the zip file into C:\games\ultima3. You can also choose to run the upgrade patch in 4 color CGA by configuring the graphics mode via the u3cfg executable after install. If you want to play the game in all of its 4 color glory and risk your eyes bleeding you can skip this step and when you want to execute the game simply execute ultima when I say to execute ultima3. We are going to install The Exodus Project’s Ultima 3 Upgrade patch. For reference, I always choose “C:\Games\ultima3”. Choosing a path that only contains folders with less than 8 characters and contains no spaces will make your life easier in the next step. Installing the GameĪgain, this is simple. Besides the direction keys its close enough.
The closest I could find was the Commodore 64 version found here. The DOS version of the Ultima III Player Reference Card is something I don’t think I have ever actually seen. All three can be found at here, here and here. Ultima III actually has three manuals: the manual, the book of cleric spells and the book of wizard spells. Off to the High-Resolution Ultima Map Project and here is the link for the Ultima III map.

Now that I got that off my chest, goes how to play Ultima III on a modern PC. I think it has all the difficulty of Ultima IV and V without any of the story progression given by the later games rich dialog systems. Before we start I have a confession to make. Go here for previous games I have covered: Ultima II and Ultima I. Please see my first post, on Akalabeth, for my comments on those things. As always, for this post I won’t get into acquiring the game files, installing DOSBox or justifying why do this myself when I could just get the games via GOG. On to the fourth post in my series of how to play all 14 Ultima games on a modern PC.
