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.
