'''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. | |||
In [[1994]] an action-adventure remake (titled ''[[Ultima: The Black Gate]]'' without numeral) was released for the [[Super Nintendo]], replacing murders with kidnapping and adopting many gameplay elements from ''[[Ultima: Runes of Virtue]]'' 1 [[Ultima: Runes of Virtue II|& 2]]. In [[2006]] this version was released for the [[PlayStation Portable]] as part of [[EA Replay]]. | |||
