Sound Effects
Download all sound effects(319 KB)Ultima I DOS Sound Effects (1986)
The original sound effects from the 1986 DOS release of Ultima I, captured as individual clips. These are the short PC beeper style effects that play during movement, combat, and spellcasting.
Ultima I FM Towns Sound Effects
The sound effects from the Japanese FM Towns release of Ultima I, developed by Fujitsu. This pack has no dedicated movement sound, and weapon fire is split into a frigate cannon and a space laser.
Music
Alternate soundtracks you can choose from in the game. Ultima I originally shipped with no music, so the rebuild lets you score it with music from the Japanese Ultima I remakes or with Kenneth W. Arnold's classic Ultima III and Ultima IV soundtracks. Listen to any track below or download a full set as a zip.
Ultima I - FM Towns
The soundtrack from the Japanese FM Towns release of Ultima I, developed by Fujitsu. The original 1981 Apple II and 1986 DOS releases had no music, only sound effects, so the Japanese remakes were the first to give Ultima I a full score. The composer of this arrangement is not reliably documented.
Ultima I - PC-98
The soundtrack from the Japanese PC-98 release of Ultima I, published by Pony Canyon. Like the FM Towns version, this remake gave Ultima I music where the original releases had none. The composer of this arrangement is not reliably documented.
Ultima III - Amiga
Kenneth W. Arnold's Ultima III: Exodus score as heard on the Amiga. In the rebuild you can choose this set to score Ultima I with the music of Ultima III.
Ultima III - Atari 8-bit
Kenneth W. Arnold's Ultima III: Exodus score as heard on the Atari 8-bit computers.
Ultima III - PC-98
Kenneth W. Arnold's Ultima III: Exodus themes arranged for the PC-98 FM sound chip. This port uses the Infinity sound driver; the arranger is not officially credited.
Ultima III - Commodore 64
Kenneth W. Arnold's Ultima III: Exodus score as heard on the Commodore 64 SID chip. This set includes the extra Ambrosia theme.
Ultima IV - Apple II (Mockingboard)
Kenneth W. Arnold's Ultima IV: Quest of the Avatar score, written for the Apple II Mockingboard sound card, the same hardware the original Ultima III music targeted.
Ultima IV - Commodore 64
Kenneth W. Arnold's Ultima IV: Quest of the Avatar score as heard on the Commodore 64 SID chip.
Ultima IV - MS-DOS
Kenneth W. Arnold's Ultima IV: Quest of the Avatar themes as heard on MS-DOS.
Ultima IV - PC-88
Kenneth W. Arnold's Ultima IV: Quest of the Avatar themes arranged for the Japanese PC-88 FM sound hardware.
Ultima IV - Sega Master System
Kenneth W. Arnold's Ultima IV themes arranged for the Sega Master System's YM2413 FM chip. This console port stayed faithful to the computer score, unlike the NES version's replacement soundtrack.
Ultima Online 1997 Remix
A remix set built from the 1997 Ultima Online soundtrack, originally composed by Kirk Winterrowd and Joe Basquez. In the rebuild these tracks are drawn from event pools, so towns, dungeons, and other locations can pull from several matching pieces. The individual remix arranger is not documented.
