NES version- Ships lost their cannons, They added a new status condition that was almost impossible to treat(cold), nearly every treasure chest was booby trapped with either poison(which did more damage) or the common cold difficult to treat), and while you could resurrect by lord British if you got wiped, Lord British would revive you with only a few HP, and hospitals lost their restore HP option, so you ended up resetting anyway unless you were level 2 or below, while you could save the game you were only given two areas in the entire game to save your progress,Īrmor didn't help much, and in fact some types of armor didn't work at all, mobs couldn't drop loot, and running around the map with a party of 4 meant that you were attacked more often, and stealing brought out the teleporting RED Guards who were the toughest enemies in the game next to Lord British(provided that you were stupid enough to attack him), and the floor! magic was thankfully easier to use. Ultima III that game whether you picked the NES port or the DOS version both had their problems.
