'''Ultima VII: The Black Gate''' was a landmark title in the {{c|Ultima}} series. It is widely held as one of the best in the series (along with [[Ultima IV: Quest of the Avatar]] and [[Ultima VI: The False Prophet]]).

After being taunted by a mysterious being who calls himself 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 [[Ultima VII: Forge of Virtue|Forge of Virtue]] expansion disk which added the Isle of Fire, and the following year the pseudo-sequel [[Ultima VII Part Two: Serpent Isle]] was released.
