RE: [SWCollect] Ultima III

[Stephen Emond]

You’re 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.   Steve     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, May 29, 2004 5:48 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [SWCollect] Ultima III   In a message dated 05/28/2004 8:41:32 PM Central Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: 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. NP. By two 1983 releases I'm assuming you mean the glossy and "dull" box games? I think the disks/labels are the same in both of those. As for 1987 release I think it was only done for IBM (Steve correct me on this if I'm wrong) The "white label" disk/87 version is fairly tough to find. The "normal" tan cluebook for UIII also has 1983 and 1987 release. Lot of UIII cluebook variations, also the "orange" books. Tom
