The wizard's teleport spell lands only on grass in the Apple version, and fails if you are on a boat. You can also mount wild horses in the Apple version. You can move onto all the floors at once in the Apple version, so after you defeat the first set, the rest show up on fields of grass. The terrain-type monsters (such as Floors and Grasses) can stack in the Apple version, not in the PC version. Apart from moon phases, there is no status display on map view, only pop-ups when they're needed. For example, the party members are shown following the lead of the first character in the party.

Without solving various puzzles, the player can't win the game. This is the first time the player can't simply kill the big villain. Map squares outside the party's line of sight, such as beyond mountains or through thick forests, are blacked out and revealed only as the party moves. This is the first Ultima game to take 'line of sight' into account that is to say, you can only see on the screen what your party would be able to see. The world of Sosaria has become more complex, with the player now guiding a party of four. The story of the game is much more straightforward, and to solve the game, the player has to use some intelligence too, since for the first time puzzles play a big role. Compared to Ultima II, the complexity and seriousness of the game is clearly much more developed.
