Well there is this as far as music goes, although I never tried it --> http://ultima.wikia.com/wiki/Ultima_V_Upgrade_Patch And as for graphics, are you sure it looks better on the C-128 even after a graphical scaler like hq3x is applied in Dosbox? >The Bard's Tale games and Dragon Age probably play >better on the Amiga for similar reasons. The Bard's Tale looks and sounds better on the Amiga winUAE emulator but the DOS version plays better in DosBox. At least that was my experience when I played through the Bard's Tale a few years ago.
