Item Description
Long before most console players had heard the word "party," Ultima III: Exodus was handing them four adventurers, a world map and almost no instructions. Richard Garriott's 1983 computer RPG laid much of the groundwork the genre still stands on, and its influence can be traced straight into Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy. The NES version, Ultima: Exodus, brought that design to the Famicom in 1987 through Pony Canyon, developed by Newtopia Planning, and FCI carried it to North American players.
It all begins with the party. You can let the game roll up a team for you, or build each of the four members yourself, choosing among five races, from Humans and Elves to Dwarves, Bobbits and Fuzzies, and eleven classes, including Fighter, Paladin, Cleric, Wizard, Thief, Barbarian, Ranger, Lark, Illusionist, Druid and Alchemist. Race caps how far stats like Intelligence and Wisdom can grow, so every choice shapes what your party can cast and how long it survives. On the overworld the four move as one, but when a fight breaks out the screen shifts to a tactical battlefield where each character acts on their own turn, a system far more involved than most console battles of its day.
The quest is a true Ultima puzzle. Exodus, the dark legacy of the villains Mondain and Minax, has risen on a fiery island, and Lord British needs heroes. Brute force alone will not win: you need four Marks gathered from deep dungeons and four cards that must be placed in the right order at Exodus's altar, because this enemy behaves more like a machine than a monster and can only be undone with the right knowledge. Talking to everyone, taking notes and following rumors is how progress happens.
The Famicom team did more than shrink the game. The NES version adds expanded dialogue, a menu interface built for a controller, an extra closing sequence after Exodus falls and an all-new soundtrack by Tsugutoshi Goto, whose music gives the world a warmth the original computer releases never had. It asks for patience in a way few NES cartridges do, and it repays that patience with the feeling of cracking a mystery on your own. This is the place where one of computer gaming's foundational RPGs met the console audience, and it plays like a fascinating bridge between two worlds.

The evil Exodus has risen from the seas to make his new home on a fiery island near Britannia Kingdom. Lord British sends out a plea for the best and greatest warriors known to man to join your group as you set out to defeat this monster. So gather ye weapons and magic spells and take on evils unknown is Ultima: Exodus.
