[[Ultima VII Part Two]] is a PC game released in 1993 by Origin Systems. It is considered one of the best games in the [[Ultima]] series besides its predecessor, [[Ultima VII]]


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.
