RE: [SWCollect] Ultima III
Youre absolutely right. I would have chimed in on this one but you had it covered ;) The three IBM releases were as follows: 1983 Glossy Box / Blue Print Label 1983 Disk (Old Logo / Exodus Face) 1986 Regular Box / Blue Print Label 1983 Disk (Old Logo / Exodus Face) 1987 Regular Box / Black Print Label 1987 Disk (Old Logo / No Face) IBM Trilogy (Both First Second Editions): 1989 - Black Print Label 1989 Disk (New Logo / Exodus Face) There are other content differences, but that will help determine which disk belongs to which release.

RE: [SWCollect] Ultima III
Yeah the Japanese are a tad too enthusiastic when it comes to UO... On average there are 5 different versions of every single expansion pack.

Thanks. I know there were two variations on the 1983 release, and I knew there was the 'Trilogy' release, but I didn't know there was a 1987 re-release.

Re: [SWCollect] Ultima III
Sure looks like it. I'm going from memory here, but I think the original Ultima III disk has blue writing and shows a small drawing of the head of a demon on the right side of the label...

That is the 1983 release, one in pic is 1987. It is not the tril disk, I just checked. Tom
Re: [SWCollect] Ultima III
BTW, I'd avoid that guy at all costs, he's a jerk. Buddy sold me a hint book and it arrived - with the pages unstapled!! Ridiculous! I asked for a refund and he basically said tough. Then he had the nerve to leave ME negative feedback (after I left it for him). My Google skills fail me these days.
