Yes!  Ultima III was the reason I bought a C64 a few years back, and I spent
the better part of a month solving it.  I got Ultima IV later for the Amiga,
and the best thing I could say about it was that the cities loaded faster
from disk.  Good plot and all, but sheesh it looked just like the C64 version!
And the sound... :-(

I had heard a while back that Origin wasn't even going to do an Amiga port 
of Ultima V.  Knowing the accuracy of most rumors around here, it's probably
already finished :-).  Hopefully if they DO decide to port it, they'll 
do better than their previous efforts....
