Though its name would suggest it's a [[Gaiden Game]], or that [[Ultima VII]] was so long that it needed to be divided into two games, it's actually neither. It is a stand-alone game that contains events important to the overall series. The only reason it was not officially named [[Ultima VIII]] is because Richard Gariott wanted all Ultima games to have different engines (Serpent Isle uses the exact same engine as [[Ultima VII]]). Thus "Part II" was slapped on.

Eighteen months after the events of [[Ultima VII]], Lord British finds out that the Guardian has sent Batlin to a place called the Serpent Isle. Fearing the worst, he sends the Avatar, Iolo, Shamino, and Dupre after Batlin to find out what they are up to. As the Avatar and his/her companions search for Batlin, they quickly become involved in the [[Cosmic Horror Story]] going on behind the scenes.

Like [[Ultima VII]], [[Ultima VII Part II]] comes with an [[Expansion Pack]], the Silver Seed. Here, the Avatar uses an amulet to travel back in time and collect a bunch of very useful items.
