What Ultima: The Savage Empire is

Ultima: The Savage Empire is an adventure game developed by Origin Systems and released in 1995. It was published by Pony Canyon. It is available on Super Famicom only.

The premise, in the publisher's words

Ultima: The Savage Empire (Ultima: Kyouryuu Teikoku) is a port of Worlds of Ultima: The Savage Empire for the SNES released in 1995 by ORIGIN Systems (and Pony Canyon). The game is a drastic departure from the traditional video games in the Ultima series, and takes place into a world that resembles the Amazon rather than the typical medieval style setting of previous titles in the series. The game's engine was based off Ultima VII: The Black Gate's engine. The game was planned for Western release, but was cancelled.
