Wow, I'm so chuffed I found Ultima VII again, looked for it for ages and never found it and now I have...woo! :w00t: :w00t:

Definitely one of my favourite rpgs of ALL time, Morrowind's definitely taken some ideas from it. I know some people these days are only obssessed with the quality of the graphics on games, and I know that's important but for me it's not at all the most important factor. U7 has such a great storyline, music, characters, everything! Earliest rpg I remember playing

Just thought how cool it is that you guys like it too.

Peace+love out.

yuni.

ok i have that dosbox thing and i have no clue how to work it. i remember this game from back in the day i have been searching for it for the longest. if you could help me it would be greatly appreciated

find dosbox.conf file where you have installed dosbox
open it with notepad
find ems
change ems from true to false (ems=false)
close dosbox.conf
when asked if you would like to keep the changes that you have just made (ems=false), say yes
start the program
type intro (everything is explained inthere, if not read further)
type mount c c:\"directory where you have unpacked UltimaVII" ( in my case it was c:\UltimaVII
type ultima7

and you are playing it.

P.S.
when in dos mode type install if you would like to change sound settings
ctrl+F8 (decreases framerate); ctrl+F12 (increases framerate) - mine is set at cpu: 9000 cycles


regards,

howdy,

a fellow ultima obsessor, i recently was reaquainted with the game, and desired to play again. i downloaded the game from this site and tried to install. immediately i was confronted with an error message from sys32 saying something about how my computer coudlnt support dos or windows, which is funny because i run windows xp. i was wondering if this is a complex problem to work through or if i am just an imbecile. if anyone knows how to work around this problem, i would be eternally grateful. i am really looking forward to playing again, thanks.

Isn't it obvious? You can't download the game because it's ESA-protected. Sorry.

theres a secret area in the game which can get you very good magic items in tristram.

just pile up crates on the side of the blacksmiths house (the haunted one). pile them up like stairs, pile them up against the wall until they reach the roof. then put another pile infront of that, with one less crate, so on until you reach a pile with one crate. so you can walk up the crates like stairs. youll need to use all the crates in tristram to do this. walk on the roof (youll get cool music), and walk behind the chimney, youll reach a corridor. pull a lever and a door will open. there will be chests in the room. there will be great magical items in the chests, weapons and armour, gold, reagents, a full spellbook, a lot of nice stuff. there will be a lot of magic items, enough for your whole party to use.

enjoy.

edit: I meant Trinsic, not tristram.

Would a colour map be any use? I have it.

Hey guys, how do I sell things in Ultima 7? I can't sell anything to Dell in Trinsic.

Holy jesus it took me seven hours to get out of the beggining town.
