HRUMP

The High Resolution Ultima Map Project, acronymed 'HRUMP' for short, has the most beautiful Ultima world maps on the net. There are maps from Ultima 1 to 8 including the Worlds of Ultima spin-offs in four different sizes.

Mysterious Sosaria

Mysterious Sosaria stood out from the beginning because of the awesome graphics that bring to life everything that is described within. The site, which unfortunately is no longer maintained, originally consisted of three parts. The travel map allows you to read about every location in Britannia. The Bard's Library is the most complete archive of Ultima music on the net. The third section, called Martial Arts, was removed from Mysterious Sosaria, but Telavar's Martial Arts section still lives on at Serpentstone. This last section documents and pictures various weapons from Ultima Online, Serpent Isle and Pagan.

IT-HE Software

IT-HE Software is a unique site mostly dedicated to abusing the games' technical flaws and glitches (aka bugs). This page is famous particularly for its anti-walkthroughs (walkthroughs describing how to beat the game by breaking all the rules, exploiting bugs, being evil and enjoying it a good deal), but also for its extensive list of fun things to do in the games from Ultima 6 to 9. Even after having read through it several times, you can go back one day to read it again, and it will still make you laugh.

Ultima: The Reconstruction

Ultima: The Reconstruction was the first site that took care of listing all remakes and archiving their releases in case they eventually died down. Although it remained silent for almost two years, as of March 2005 it is once again up to date.

Ultima: Aiera

Aiera was made by Withstand the Fury Dragon to continue the legacy of Ultima: The Reconstruction when Reconstruction became silent and out of date. With Reconstruction back, it and Aiera are two parallel websites with the same purpose.

The Ultima Orphanage

The Orphanage hosts what remains of cancelled or abandoned remakes, and is complementary to Aiera (being made by the same webmaster).

UltimaDot

UltimaDot takes care of reporting Ultima news, much like Dino's Ultima Page does, and also hosts some features of its own once in a while.

Unlike Dino's Ultima Page, UltimaDot is part of a larger network (RPGDot), which in turn belongs to the Jolt network. People often take our two sites to be rivals, but actually, we have sometimes collaborated and there is no animosity between us. While some people might prefer one site or the other, both our sites have the same common goal, and we help each other if needed.

Ultimatrix Homepage

The Ultimatrix Homepage is home to many brilliant utilities such as the Ultimatrix viewer and the Ultima Launcher.

The Ring of Dragons

The Ring of Dragons is a webring of Ultima sites. Ultima sites which join the webring are listed in the hub of the ring and carry links to the webring hub as well as to the next and previous sites on the ring.

serpent-isle.co.uk

serpent-isle.co.uk (the site takes the same name as its domain) takes care of reviewing each Ultima, sometimes providing a screenshot or two to show what the game is like. The reviews aren't of the highest quality, having quite a few flaws.

Kenn's Map Page

Kenn's Map Page is not focused towards Ultima, but also has maps of other games. As far as Ultima is concerned, it has maps of The Savage Empire (which are the best you'll ever find from that game) and Ultima 7 (parts 1 and 2).

Grimpond Dragon's Ultima Cheater's Site

As the name implies, Grimpond Dragon's Ultima Cheater's Site is oriented towards cheating in Ultima games. It is not limited to that, however, as there are also other spoilers.

The Origin Museum

The curators of the Origin Museum have met many of the original Ultima developers, and own many Ultima collectibles and unique artifacts. There are also many stories about the curators' meetings with the Ultima developers and some which concern Ultima lore closely.

Arcana Dragon's Ultima Archive

Arcana Dragon's Ultima Archive consists mostly of downloads, though there are also some text files and screenshots.

The Lands of Ultima

The Lands of Ultima is a Java site showing all the maps in Ultimas 1, 3 and 5. City maps are usually shown by going to the city icon in the world map. The important places are labelled and some sort of description will appear when you move your cursor over them.

Gargish Dragon's Ultima Page

Gargish Dragon, as the name suggests, knows a lot about the culture of the Gargoyles and has written useful information about their language, including a Gargish dictionary. His dictionary received a link from the official Ultima Web Archive, even though that link is now old and doesn't work.

The World of Ultima

The World of Ultima is one of the oldest Ultima sites still around, established in 1995. It has several Ultima pictures and music files, along with other files you can download, including a program that can take screenshots of Ultima games.

Seven Towers

Seven Towers is the website of Marzo Sette Torres Junior, a member of the Exult team. It contains some Exult mods and Usecode C documentation.
