First Trilogy Reference Guide
The first Ultima compilation (including Ultima I, Ultima II, and Ultima III) was distributed with a reference guide serving as the games’ quick-start manual.
Description[edit]
This guide essentially combines the reference guides of the games it encompasses. However, it does not replicate the original cards; instead, it offers a straightforward listing of commands for all three games without the original formatting. Notably, specific instructions for the three platforms (Apple II, C64, IBM PC) were included as separate add-on cards. This was perhaps done to reduce printing costs.
Other Editions[edit]
The reference guide released with the European edition of the compilation is the same, although it is somewhat smaller in size. The guide for the Japanese FM Towns release was newly created but essentially holds the same information. A Chinese translation was produced for the Taiwanese market, while for Korea, the material was condensed into the single included manual.
