I believe Ultima III had a 128x128 tile map, Ultima IV was 256x256.  I am
not sure of the games beyond that.

I am currently working on an Ultima "clone" in which my main map is 500x500
tiles, and there are about 60 towns & dungeon levels combined, each with
a 75x75 tile map.  I'm just glad that my partner drew mostly everything,
not me!
