Key points
The unpatched game has issues on faster systems
The unpatched game doesn't support graphic modes beyond CGA. The CGA graphics used in the PC version were created for contemporary composite monitors in order to get 16 colors through effect known as "color artifacting". This effect doesn't work correctly on newer video cards or other display types
The original Apple II version was the first Ultima game with music. While majority of the versions had full soundtrack from the Apple II original, the unpatched PC version doesn't have any music
The fan-made
Ultima 3 Upgrade
fixes the problems mentioned above in addition to other improvements and fixes. It also adds option to simulate the look of CGA mode on composite monitors in the VGA mode
