Read Full Detailed Report - Ultima VII

Ultima 7 is an RPG from Origin Systems. You play as the Avatar, and are once again summoned to the world of Britannia. 200 years have passed in Britannia since your previous adventures, and the land is plagued by troubles occuring all at once. A bizzarre series of ritualistic murders have been committed, magic is crumbling, mages are going insane, and a zealous cult called "The Fellowship" is becoming widely accepted to the point where it holds much political power. An omnipresent, omniescient, and sinister being calls himself "The Guardian." He is present from the beginning, and his motives aren't immediately clear, but is clearly up to no good. You must investigate these problems, find out if they are connected, and spend the rest of the series putting an end to them.

Exult is a source port that lets the game run in Windows with various enhancements, including support for widescreen resolutions. It may be downloaded here:http://exult.sourceforge.net/

The game data is not included, but it is compatible with both "parts" of Ultima 7, as well as both expansion packs (Forge of Virtue and Silver Seed). All four were originally sold separately.

The only flaw that I didn't notice listed here...is that you should be trying to play the game in it's original resolution.

320x200 in 4:3

Which is tough.
You have to either have a CRT monitor, so you can stretch out the resolution...or have an LCD with the ability to switch it's scaler to 4:3

Exult is a great source port, but they really need to add this resolution fix, because right now it's impossible to play widescreen, because widescreen is always stretched, and you have to squash it to get the games true resolution.

Here is the game as it runs normally, even in full screen mode (stretched)

Here is how the game is meant to run (NOT stretched)

It would be ideal if we had a way to run the game like this, and widescreen.
