Ultima III Gold

I quietly released Ultima III Gold at Big Floppy People this summer,
but didn't have the time to type up docs and make an announcement. I
*still* haven't found the time to do a proper webpage or scan the game
manuals, but I've at last managed to put the docs online, together
with a download link:

Ultima III Gold is an enhanced and bugfixed of Ultima III for the
Commodore 64. The original port from Apple II suffers from a heap of
technical problems and has some of the sloppiest code I've ever seen.

Feaures:

Fastloader
Supports 1541, 1570, 1571, 1581, CMD FD, CMD HD.

Fits on a single disk side

Keyboard remapping
Movement keys are now sane on non-english keyboards.

Trainers
Unlimited Magic
Unlimited Food
Unlimited Torches
Unlimited Keys
Unlimited Gems
Press T to teleport (X/Y coord 0-63)
Press (B) to mount (H)orse or board (S)hip
Press (X) to exit combat
Yell "AMBROSIA" to travel to/from Ambrosia

Code optimizations
The tile plotting routine has been rewritten which speeds up the
game significantly.

Revamped save system
Removed redundant sosaria save for performance reasons.
Sosaria map is cached in ram when entering townes.
Only saves to disk when asked to - no automatic save when the
party dies.

Buy more than one dagger at a time

Select default character
Press 1-4 to select a default character for actions. Press 0 to
revert to the games default behavious where it asks.

Ask on location exit
The game asks before it throws you out to the main map.

Bugfixes
Delete key now works when entering player name.
