Running Ultima 7 ("The Black Gate" and "Serpents Isle") has been possible for more than a year, both on Windows and Linux (and some others) through the use of the Exult Ultima 7-engine.
Exult even lets your play the game in higher resolutions (using algorithms like SuperEagle and 2XSAI), and with more detail than in the original game.
