Ultima VII is the seventh installment of the Ultima series of computer role-playing games.
The game was released in two parts, Ultima VII: The Black Gate (1992), and Ultima VII, Part Two: Serpent Isle (1993). Aside from the direct continuation of the plot and using essentially the same engine, the two parts are independent of one another. Each has a respective expansion pack – Ultima VII: Forge of Virtue, and Ultima VII, Part Two: Silver Seed. Since the mid-1990s, all releases of the game have included both parts and both of the expansion packs.
The Black Gate and Serpent Isle were both critically and commercially successful, being widely lauded as a high point in the series and as two of the best isometric RPGs ever created. In an interview with GameSpot, Richard Garriott stated that Ultima VII "was the most masterfully executed of the Ultima series." He has also often stated that the game was, along with Ultima IV, his own favorite part overall.
