Hello,
There is a separate card with the controls. You should be able to find it in the extras.

Edit:
I just reviewed the Ultima documents and they don't have the card that came with the listing of the controls. Maybe I'll pull it out of my box and make copies and send it to gog.com.

I don't have a ref card in my Ultima Collection CD from way back. It does discuss saving in the regular manual though. Kind of. Says, any location you enter or if you hit Q on overworld to quit, you are "shown in Lord British mirror". And when you hit J to journey forward/on the wizard automatically restores your game.

Edit: I just found my Ultima Collection. It has no digital versions of the ref card as far as I can tell. But, it did have a paper booklet Atlas (black and white not cool versions), and 48 page reference booklet.

Just checked replacementdocs.com and mocagh.org and they don't have IBM/DOS reference cards available. Mocagh has some other platform reference cards.

I'm not talking about the collection. I have the original Ultima 3 in the box it came in. I just have to dig it out of storage as I have it preserved as these run hundreds of dollars now.

I just checked and I have the boxes for Ultima 4 and 5. My brother has the box for Ultima 3. That means it will take a long time to find it.

This is what I could find online:

Here is a list of commands

Letter Command
E Enter Enter a town, castle, dungeon or other landmark.
T Transact Use to talk to townspeople or trade with merchants.
Q Quit (and save) Use command to save your progress to disk (from the outside world only), before you quit playing. You can resume the game from this point.
C Cast Cast a magic spell. When chosen, you will be asked for the character's number (1-4) and, for some professions, whether the spell will be W/C (Wizard/Cleric).

I Ignite torch Lights a given player's torch.
N Negate time When the proper item is found and used, time stops around the party for several turns.
P Peer at a gem With the aid of a special item, you can temporarily see a map of where the party is located. On the surface, the map is of the entire world; in a town or castle, the map shows all the inside areas; in a dungeon, all of that level is visible. Even the ladders, doors, and special objects are shown.
U Unlock Open doors if you have the key. Must be followed by direction to door and the player whose key is to be used. One use per key.
Y Yell Allows player to yell any word desired. Allows words to be screamed over a distance.
O Other command Enter any command desired during game play. Allows specific action commands in special situations or places. See the Text transcript for details.
H Hand equipment Trades equipment between two players. Followed by prompts to determine what is to be exchanged.
G Get chest Open chest. Must be followed by the number of the player who will search for traps, open the chest and acquire its contents.
S Steal Used to steal chests from behind store counters.
D Descend Climb down a ladder to the next lower dungeon level.
K "K"-limb Climb up a ladder in a dungeon.
J Join gold Gives all gold in party to player indicated. Useful for buying special items or services that are expensive.
B Board Board a frigate or mount horses.
X eXit Exit from a frigate or dismount from horses.
M Move Exchanges the positions of any two players within the party.
F Fire Fire a ship's cannons (after boarding) in direction indicated. Has a range of three tiles. Any enemy killed with ship's cannon yields neither treasure nor experience!
L Look Identifies an object in a specified direction. Look is particularly useful before entering unknown places or terrain.
V Volume Depending on the game version, either it toggles sound effects on and off, or it changes volume between 100%, 50%, and 25%.

Ultima 3 Ref card from the Ultima Collection. So, no color, no pictures, left out DOS stuff etc. Limited what I can attach by forum software.

Edit: Added Ultima I and II, plus a common ref and Akalabeth. (Ultima 4-6 already seem to have theirs in Extras on GoG)
