- For the significantly different Super Nintendo version, see Ultima: The Black Gate.
Ultima VII: The Black Gate was a landmark title in the Ultima series. It is widely held as one of the best in the series (along with Ultima IV and Ultima VI).
After being taunted by a mysterious being who calls himself The Guardian, a moongate appears. The Avatar arrives back in Britannia once more, and is immediately confronted with a grisly murder. As he investigates he discovers this is more than just a simple murder. The world is changed from his last visit: magic is failing and unpredictable, the moongates are malfunctioning, and in fact the whole land is in danger of falling prey to The Guardian.
The game was quickly followed by the Forge of Virtue expansion disk. The following year the pseudo-sequel Ultima VII Part Two: Serpent Isle was released.
