Ultima VI: The False Prophet was the first Ultima game to be developed primarily for MS-DOS (previous games were developed for other systems and later ported to it). It takes full advantage of the hardware with 256-color VGA graphics and the first use of the series' unusual perspective.
A somewhat different Super Nintendo version was produced, called simply Ultima: The False Prophet. There were many changes but on the whole it is still the same game, unlike Ultima: The Black Gate.
In 1991 Fujitsu Japan released a version of Ultima VI for the Japan-only FM Towns, what was at the time a considerably advanced PC. It was Origin's first CD-ROM game, and features fully digitized speech for all characters--in English!--many of which are voiced by their real-world namesakes (Richard Garriott voices Lord British, and so forth). Nuvie now supports these voiceovers, but it still requires the MS-DOS version as the base.
