After 10 years of waiting, I'm happy to announce that the next major
release of the Ultima III Upgrade - version 3.0 - is now available for
download. This release includes many new features and fixes, the
foremost being ability to select between four different video modes:

VGA 256-color mode - new!
EGA 16-color mode
CGA Composite 16-color mode - new!
CGA 4-color mode

VGA is, of course, the new highest color mode available. But less well
known that Ultima 3 was actually intended to be played in CGA
Composite mode, where it looks more like the Apple II version.

In addition to the above, you now can now display the actual moon
phases, instead of just the numbers 0-7. Furthermore, the Exodus
Project is now fully open source!

Please check out the status page for the full scoop and download it

Oh, and none of this would have been possible without a hard drive
crash. Ironic right? The back story is forthcoming.

Speaking of which, recently tried the U5 patch, but I couldn't launch it
even after following the instructions. Something about a missing CSDPMI
thingie... Does anyone know what's up with that?
