Description from the packaging.

Lord British presents Ultima Worlds of Adventure 2.

1893. The World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. Astronomer Percival Lowell's colossal space cannon is poised to hurl a huge bullet-ship to Mars. Then disaster strikes! The cannon discharges a day early with dozens of history's leading figures aboard. Unprepared for the rigors of Mars, the accidental space travelers have little chance of surviving. You must rescue the stranded expedition or history will be forever changed!

Fact-filled fantasy adventure.
Martian Dreams is the first alternative history adventure in the Ultima series, combining what we now know of Mars with the imaginings of writers and scientists of the 1890's.

Wells, and dozens more!
