Ultima III was so much smaller in scope than Ultima IV that it was able to contain the full score of background music even on an 8-bit machine. I think I actually prefer this version because of that. It just so perfectly fit the mood of the game - the shrine music just sounded so beautiful after hours and hours of long tedious battles in the dark dungeons. Even now, I can recall how epic this game seemed.
