Are Ultima II & III the same on the Mac as on Apple II's (i.e. you have to do
the same things to win)?  I played them both on an old Apple II+ (I don't
recall if I actually completed both), so if the Mac versions are identical
to the Apple II versions (which were great!), there's no sense in me even
thinking about them.
