The Worlds of Ultima series (later called Ultima: Worlds of Adventure) was a short lived spin-off of the well-known Ultima series of role-playing video games.

After Ultima VI, the Avatar is transported by a friend's failed experiment with an unusual type of moonstone to the jungle valley of Eodon in another world, whose indigenous people were modeled on some of the aboriginal nations of Mesoamerica and tropical Africa. The player needs to understand and master some aspects of their stone-age tribal culture and their "jungle magic" to find a way to bring peace to the valley.
The Avatar finds himself on a spaceship right from the pages of Jules Verne or H.G. Wells with various well-known persons from the late 1800s on board, such as Nellie Bly, Sigmund Freud, and Nikola Tesla, in a mission to rescue other important personalities of the Victorian era, who ended up on Mars due to sabotage on a ship during a guided tour.
Arthurian Legends was to be set in the times of King Arthur and use the Ultima VII game engine. Sheri Graner Ray, one of the two employees working on the project the entire time, has stated in an interview for pcGTW, that over time various people were pulled from it to work on other projects, so in the end it was just her and Brian Martin(future Design Manager for Ultima Online[1]) working on it. Nine months after it began, it was officially canceled.[2]
