Today you will see a strange message on your computer screen from a mysterious being called the Guardian!

Visit Britannia once more to prove that you are a true champion of the Virtues. GOG.com and EA bring you the [url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/ultima_7_complete]Complete Ultima 7 to you for only $5.99!

You are the Avatar, summoned once again to Britannia, the fabled land of the monarch Lord British. When you arrive through the Moongate, you meet with your old friend Iolo. An obscene murder has just shook the town of Trinsic. You learn that a new organization, called the Fellowship, has been growing in numbers. As you investigate the mysterious murder and begin uncovering true motivations of the Fellowship, you’re also haunted by ominous warnings of the enigmatic Guardian.
Ultima 7: The Complete Edition features a complete graphical and control overhaul of the Ultima engine. The oldschool top-down Ultima view has been revamped: now the game fills the whole screen and finally you can control the whole game with a mouse. The vast populated world of NPCs with their own life schedules makes exploring the enormous area of Sosaria an engaging and epic adventure. Ultima 7 is distinguished by the total immersion and freedom in exploring and completing the game. You can pick up everything and interact with every nook and cranny out there. To eat, which is needed for survival, you need to get flour and water, mix them on a table in a bakery, than use the the newly created dough on a fireplace to bake bread. If you’re good at it, the baker might just tip you for your effort!
The tactical combat system of earlier Ultima series games has been replaced with a real-time combat system, where the AI is controlling your team and you, the player are only in control of the Avatar. You advance in experience via Ultima’s familiar level up system where once you have earned a sufficient amount of experience points you automatically gain a level.

Ultima 7: The Complete Edition consists of Ultima 7: The Black Gate, Ultima 7: The Forge of Virtue, Ultima 7: Part Two - Serpent Isle, Ultima 7: Part Two - The Silver Seed all in one package for as low as $5.99!

Darling_Jimmy: A lot of people are having trouble right now, Knee. Maybe it's a sign you should go to Japan instead. ;)

KneeTheCap: Maybe it is :)
Agreed! Japan awaits! ;)

silveri: I had that happen with my credit card. During the "Hidden Gem a day" special in the summer, I was buying almost each special as it came out daily. At about the fifth day, my purchases suddenly were denied. I tried a second time, and ... denied.

I immediately called my credit card company and found out that yes, they'd placed a block on my purchases from GOG until they had a chance to talk to me about them to make sure they were legitimate.
I took a chance and tried again now. This time it worked. Phew. Was my third attempt too, don't know what would have happened if it failed.

So anyway, now I'm the proud owner of yet another classic I really don't have time to play... at some point I'll just have to quit my job and cut my internet connection, and play my backlog of GOGs until I run out of money for food and electricity.
yes.although I prefer 4,5 and 8.but can't go wrong with this one

Detlik: Is this best one in the series?
Not my thing, but glad to see it on GOG.
If you look at the screenshots of The Black Gate, it has the original character sheet, so I would assume that its not the Exult release (which converted it to the Part 2 paper-doll scheme).
themomentgood its not but its very very easy too get exult to work with gog version.
Oh, I am sure. Someone was asking if it was the Exult, so I was just clarifying that. I usually prefer the original to Exult anyway.

It is a free software reimplementation of the Ultima VII game engine.

Their front page news is not exciting.
One of my favorite games, ever. I love to go back and revisit these every couple years.

Buy it for the story, the sandbox like world interactivity, variety of characters, the quest and the puzzles that you have you solve to get to the end.

Don't buy it for the combat. It's pretty much automated. And when your companions flee in The Black Gate, the drop items like armor and weapons which is perhaps realistic but VERY ANNOYING. The interface is also a little clunky. Also, this game has a few serious bugs, documented here: http://codex.ultimaaiera.com/wiki/Bugs#Ultima_VII
Hopefully this is the CD version which corrected some of the game breaking bugs.

I highly recommend it despite it's flaws. IMO, it's the peak of the series. After Serpent Isle, things started going downhill...
Arguably the best game in the series. A great addition to GoG.
When will GOG make a " let's ask the developer " interview with Richard Garriott ?
