I have only seen Ultima III for the amiga (Came out the same time as 
Bard's Tale I) a loooooong time ago (like when the Amiga first came out) 
and Ultima IV (which just came out recently).

As far as I know (at least from looking at Ultima III), the graphics and
gameplay are just ported over from the IBM/C64 versions!

Ultima III is pretty expensive ($28-35 mailorder), so you may want to find
a copy to buy from someone who has had it for a long time (I sold mine 
that way).  Ultima IV is even more expensive ($37+ mailorder).

I wish that the Amiga would get 'up do date' on the Ultima World...seems like
if Richard Garriot (Lord British) would really want to make a great game
that he would jump off those ancient (no offense to anyone) Apple machines
which he makes them with, and get to a high-speed, graphic/sound multitasking
machine like the amiga!
			Hope this helps a little!
