How about this:

  Ultima IV: C64. I can send you a beta version of my gold crack. It
    supports 1541/71/81/FD/HD and SuperCPU, has a fastloader, can save
    in dungeons, comes with a save game editor and a bunch of handy
    cheats.

  Ultima V: C128. It loads fast, and has a bunch of extra music.

  Ultima IV: PC or Amiga with 68020+ and HD. The Amiga version is butt
  slow from floppies, and on a plain A500 or A2000 the game feels
  sluggish. On my A1200 with 020@28 MHz and a 2.5" HD it runs great.
  The PC version is more or less identical, but you might have
  problems finding a machine with a suitable cpu, graphics, sound
  card.
