The Ultimore series was a set of expansions for Ultima 3, which were created by reverse-engineering the game’s file formats and using this knowledge to produce alternate “Side 2” game diskettes which included new towns and quests. This was achieved without modifying the original game data, so the Ultimore games could be played alongside Ultima 3, and Ultima 3 could still be played to completion as normal.
Five such scenarios were produced: A Divided World, Pirate World, Spaceship Crash, Egypt, and the Rule Of The Slave Lords. Most of these are, for now, lost to time… however, a copy of the Egypt disk image was made available by Tobias Hübner (@medienistik) as a Christmas present to the Ultima fandom in December of 2020. And in December of 2021, Daemon Master (@DaemonMaster1) released a Windows port (rewritten in C#) of A World Divided, alongside the original Apple ][ disk image. (It was also made available by Pix.)

I love that old fan mods are getting this kind of love and care.
Agreed! This is great to see.
