LairWare's Ultima III is a modern Macintosh update of a classic computer fantasy role playing game which helped define the genre. Create a party of four adventurers, slay wandering evil beasts, and talk to townspeople to find out about the evil that has come over the once-peaceful land of Sosaria. Hear the villagers speak to you with speech synthesis, and a beautiful original soundtrack accompanies you on your journeys.
The Macintosh version is decent; and nicely automated

Pros
For persons with hand and muscular problems the automation is a wonderful beginning.
Cons
The program needs considerable improvement:
? Trunks need to be dealt with automatically upon stepping on them; and equipment dispersed buy game rules.
? if you want players to go into dungeons you need more outlets for torches.
(next data pane)
Summary
? Even in the demo version characters need to hold on to equipment between saves
? Where the h*ll are the torches??? Torches ought not be this hard to find.
? My I suggest that you make use of dungeons and have the player move from map section to map section by means of dungeon. Right now you seem to have a flat world that defies the laws of physics.
The game seems to have a lot of potential. It just needs some decent tweaks.
