The Ultima III Encore CD-ROM Game Manual is on the Ultima Web Archive. An Ultima 3 Manual can be found at LairWare's Ultima 3. Not exactly documentation but similar, there is a list of other commands used in the game, on the Other Codex (Internet Archive).

LairWare's Ultima III is a modern Macintosh update of a classic computer fantasy role playing game which helped define the genre. Create a party of four adventurers, slay wandering evil beasts, and talk to townspeople to find out about the evil that has come over the once-peaceful.

Ultima III: Exodus is the third game in the series of Ultima role-playing video games. Exodus is also the name of the game's principal antagonist. It is the final installment in the 'Age of Darkness' trilogy. Released in 1983, it was the first Ultima game published by Origin Systems. Originally developed for the Apple II, Exodus was eventually ported to 13 other platforms. (paraphrased from Wikipedia)

This is the original 1-bit Macintosh port of Ultima III that was released in 1985.

The instructions for the game include a warning against copying the game at risk of damaging the disk. They were not kidding. One of the many copy tools I used got stuck trying to read something. The drive started making progressively louder squeaky/scratchy sounds. Now I can no longer run the game from the disk. When I slide the disk open, there is a groove on the media where I presume the disk drive head was misled into creating a rut.

The download here includes a disk image that was created by MCP using DiskDup+ (set to tolerate the copy-protected sector). It was combined with a deprotected copy of the application to create a playable image.

If you have a copy that's never been played, or of the Mac II-compatible (but still monochrome) revision that was supposedly created between October 1987 and January 1988, please upload them.
