Pix's Ultima Patcher Version 1.73 Released

The latest version of Pix's Ultima Patcher, now maintained by Fenyx4, adds support for the "Ultimore" expansions for "Ultima 3".

Fenyx4 has been the maintainer of Pix’s Ultima Patcher — far and away the best way to patch the Ultima games on Windows-based systems — for some time now, and hosts the code on his GitHub page. Early last month, he released a small update to the utility, the change notes for which are as follows: Remove the file that was getting a false positive on virus scanners by @Fenyx4 in #28 U9 language…

More "Ultimore"?

More "#Ultimore"? It turns out that a few other fan-made expansion scenarios for "#Ultima 3" have also been found.

There was one other bit of news from Daemon Master that I missed reporting on earlier this year, concerning the other Ultimore scenarios that Joel Fenton released. (These were, if you weren’t previously aware of them, a series of fan-made add-on scenarios for the Apple ][ version of Ultima 3, which were implemented in such a way as to be playable alongside the base game.) Well, it turns out that…

Check Out Daemon Master's #Windows Port of Joel Fenton's Unofficial #Ultima 3 Expansion, "#Ultimore: Egypt"

The Ultimore scenarios were a series of unofficial expansions for the Apple ][ version of Ultima 3, produced by Joel Fenton in the mid-1980s. Fenton carefully reverse-engineered the game data for Ultima 3 and released these scenarios as alternative “Side 2” diskettes, which allowed them to be played as part of Ultima 3. For those that no longer have an Apple ][ available to play games on – it…

Pix's #Ultima Patcher Changes Hands, Gets Updated

Origin Systems historian Pix hasn’t updated his venerable Ultima Patcher in almost two years. This doesn’t mean it isn’t a great utility; it is the recommended way to install any patches and updates for Windows installations of the Ultima games (yes, all of them). As of this year, however, Fenyx4 — whose handle you’ll hopefully recognize as one of the key architects of the Codex of Ultima Wisdom…

A Christmas Gift for Ultima Fans...the "Ultimore: Egypt" Disk Image

A #Christmas Gift for #Ultima Fans...the "#Ultimore: Egypt" Disk Image

The Ultimore series was a set of expansions for Ultima 3, which were created by Joel Fenton in 1984 and 1985. Fenton reverse-engineered the Ultima 3’s file formats and, using this knowledge, produced the Ultimore add-ons as alternate “Side 2” game diskettes which included new towns and quests. This was achieved without modifying the original game data, so the Ultimore games could be played…
