[4] Original game contents include Compendium playbook, "Orb of the Moon" gemstone, paper/cardboard game map, and Amiga Reference Guide.

TRIVIA: The sixth installment is the first game in the ULTIMA series that was not (originally) developed on the Apple II, whose 8-bit limitations, unsurprisingly, rendered development unfeasible.
