As far at the "Ultima Collection" goes I can tell you that Origin (or
Electronic Arts) used the inferior PC versions of the games.  Ultima's
II and III used ugly CGA graphics with no music for Ultima's III, IV
and V.  Also these early Ultima's, that were designed for an Intel
8088 running at 4.77 MHz, ran at Warp speed on modern machines.  They
would have been better off with the Apple II versions running in an
emualtor.
