Ultima III: Exodus is a singleplayer RPG game in the Ultima series.
The unpatched game has speed issues on faster systems, does not support graphic modes beyond CGA (which does not work correctly on newer video cards or other display types), and does not have the music from the original Apple II version. The fan-made upgrade patch fixes the problems mentioned above in addition to other improvements and fixes.

Notes
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within the installation folder reflects the path(s) listed for DOS game data. For the GOG.com release, file changes in DOSBox are redirected to
<path-to-game>/cloud_saves/
even if GOG Galaxy is not used (this folder contains all redirected files, so some files in the cloud_saves
folder might be temporary files or other files that do not contain saves or settings).
