Back

i am blown away by this german rpg (with full english translation) that has been around for decades, and i somehow never heard of it until now

Teudogar and the Alliance with Rome (2003) is as close to an Ultima VII followup as we'll ever see in my opinion.

i was initially crushed when i saw that the developer closed their site, and did not allow any registrations/purchases of the game - and the demo was the only thing left available.

mercifully, some digging revealed that the developer *very* kindly provided a free download of the full version of the game in a secret area of their site:
