Ultima VII: The Black Gate

The best game ever.

In 1980, Richard Garriot (AKA Lord British) created two games which were among the first computer RPGs. The first game was Akalabeth, which has become known as Ultima 0, and then the second game was Ultima, which was bas... Read Full Review

A tribute to THE game which condemned me to a life of gaming hereafter...

Wow, this was a long time ago! C64 and 3 hours a night sleep....just to get up and play U7 as much as i could. I was just a kid discovering one of the true classics at this time. My mother would criticise me for sp... Read Full Review

Quite simply the Best RPG of all time...

Ultima VII is, quite simply, the best computer role-playing game ever created. It is not without its minor flaws, but all things considered, it is still something that should always serve as a guidance. Let me put it thi... Read Full Review

I had it installed from 1992 (the original game) to 2007 (with Exult emulator)

The first time i played this game i forgot the investigation of the assesinations and began travelling around the world. I was fascinated, it was like a complete continent with some islands around. And it was a live worl... Read Full Review

Simply groundbreaking for its time! So much freedom in a living, breathing world! Addictive... Immersive... a great tale

10 years ago when I discovered this game, I didn't like it as much because it was an RPG... it's a life simulator!

This game was truly revolutionary. Not only is it an excellent RPG in the way that it has a good quest, interesting characters, very clear graphics and good combat, but the revolutionary part was the real life aspects. Y... Read Full Review

An RPG as they should always have been!

This game and the inovation it brought with it should set markers for other RPGS... like picking up almost anything and placing it anywhere.... and it stays there FOREVER. Kill anyone go anywhere. Hmmm.... for it's ti... Read Full Review

One of the greatest classic rpg's ever made. complete interactivity, great plot, overall a unique gameplay.

This game is a personal favorite for me. I played it when it first came out, later lost the disk, and recently bought the Ultima Collection because I liked it so much and wanted to play the entire series. I would l... Read Full Review

For all you who are frustrated by trying to play the DOS version of this game, the SNES version of Ultima VII: Black Gate is a great game and very close to the PC version. The story picks up years after the previous Ulti... Read Full Review
