Hi.

Some time ago I interesting in Ultima series and planned to play in 6 or 7, because dont have much more time for play in all main games in series by order.

I found all original versions of Ultima 7(Black Gate, Forge of Virtue, Serpent Isle, Silver Seed), except Black Gate - the first part of Ultima 7.

March 1992 version is first retail version of Ultima 7. I found it in TOSEC IBM PC compatible set, but only 5 of 6 floppies only - floppy #2 is missing in this set.

I try to find in several places, but without any success, and modern fan forum(s) about Ultima series I cannot find - sites and forums which I found throught Google is "dead" or very inactive(very small users).

Honestly am desperate to find. Please, if anyone have possibilities to dump floppy #2 of Black Gate with march 1992 dated files, send it to my e-mail. I'll be very glad for it.

Thanks and sorry.

If you are just wanting to play it, save yourself the hassle and get it from here http://www.gog.com/game/ultima_7_complete

I'd say the only places you can get the floppy version now is ebay but probably way overpriced and something that old probably wouldn't work by now but who knows.

Sorry, but if I want save yourself the hassle, I dont make a topic here.

I believe what someone somewhere has it in phisical form.

I saw on ebay there is an auction for the Ultima VII floppy disks and box, but the price is $64 and only ships to the US.

You should be able to find it easier on CD. It would be more reliable (and probably cheaper) to get it that way. Other than that, you could try emailing the seller on ebay but not many people have floppy drives anymore..

Well, I got all of them, in the black box with map and manual (I lost the medal thingy). Which was bought 21 years ago. I am pretty sure the diskettes are mostly dead.

I think you must check it with WinImage before you speak confidently and surely.

If you dont have floppy drive already as I can understand.

just in case, I will say that I have experience with old floppy images - I do dumps of the game, which released in 1990, and floppies was not dead.
