Key points

First game in the series developed specifically for PC with full support for VGA graphics and the contemporary sound cards.
Characters can be imported from Ultima IV: Quest of the Avatar or Ultima V: Warriors of Destiny (see Import characters).
The game has issues on the faster systems, although this problem can be alleviated on native DOS systems by using Mo'Slo or similar program. On DOSBox this isn't an issue, since user can modify and limit the cycles of the emulated system.
