Description

This game takes place 18 months after The Black Gate. Batlin, the leader of the Fellowship has disappeared, as well as Iolo's wife Gwenno. A map is found that points to the Serpent Isle where the Guardian is still planning to destroy Britannia. Lord British sends you, the Avatar, and your companions to this new land. Once there, you discover that a great imbalance is upon the isle and it is up to you to fix it. To do so, you must learn the philosophies of the original inhabitants of this land who worshipped giant serpents symbolizing the principles of Order, Chaos and Balance.

Serpent Isle uses virtually the same game engine as the first Ultima 7, with some slight modifications in inventory managment and NPC portraits. The story however, is more linear and also more extensive. In typical Ultima-style there's lots of dialogue with NPCs next to the usual fighting, puzzles and magic.

Run away - far, far away. Better yet, set the box and it's disks on fire, then run away. Cyric (50) unrated

Trivia

Find the bridge that is east of the Spinebreaker Mountains magic carpet chamber, and in the vicinity you will see a plaque.
The only way to access it to see what it reads is to activate the game's cheat mode and use the hack mover function to remove sections of the bridge.
When you double click to read the message you will find it says "Turn off the Hack Mover, you cheater!"
