First post, by Tommaso72
Hello everyone, this is my first post. I have been lurking for a long while but decided today it was time to join as I have many vintage computers that need some help. Anyways, thanks for having me.
The question I have and cannot find a solution to is that I have a copy of Ultima 3 that I have owned since I was a child, it is my favorite game of all time other than Ultima 4. I pulled it out of storage to run it on a turbo XT I recently scored from a neighbor's garbage 🤣. It came with a monitor also and both were never used and still in plastic! I have no idea how that happens in 2016 but I am very happy. There is no hard drive, but that's okay.
I desperately want to copy my Ultima 3 5.25 inch floppy to another for backup as I don't want to loose this game as it means a lot to me. I have the entire box with maps ect. I have tried looking at any program to do it but it seems the copy protection is making it extremely difficult. Anyone have any ideas on how I can save my childhood game. It still works and is on one disk front and back, but I want to play it but worry too much I am going to ruin it. The scenario disk I can copy, it is the first side that I am having trouble with. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I will buy a Kyroflux if I need to, but if there is another method that is cheaper that would be great. I really want to play the game without worry. Thanks in advance!
