Roaming the vast world of Britannia rewards patient players, as the main story is doubled by countless dialogues, side quests and places to comb through freely. Unraveling the Black Gate's mystery calls for exploring, investigating and progressing at your own pace over many hours. Carried by the Ultima series' legendary freedom, it keeps its reputation as a dense RPG where every detour reveals something.

Collector interest

A SNES port of Ultima VII, Ultima - The Black Gate is here the US NTSC edition, the only Western console version of the game. Its interest is chiefly historical: a tough technical compromise that squeezes an ambitious PC CRPG down, with trimmed gameplay making it a conversion curio rather than a triumph. Sought by series fans on the US side, it appeals to the console-Ultima collector. Complete, a clean cardboard box and thick manual carry the value, the loose cart staying more common.
