But does it play on Safari for iPhone??

No, no it does not. ("Divide error. Null pointer assignment.")

Ultima VII is one of my absolute favorite games of all time. A deep plot and an open world, where you can bake bread from scratch or climb a set of boxes you stack.

It helped kick off my love of RPGs, along with Shining Force II (for JRPGs) and text adventure games generally like Zork. Through Ultima, I found D&D and the world of other CRPGs like Baldur's Gate and others. But Ultima VII is still among the best.

Later in life I ended up buying every single Ultima game and playing through many of the early ones. It's fascinating seeing how the series evolved and constantly pushed the envelope in terms of technology, interactivity, and story. Just a couple weeks ago I finally bought a copy of Ultima I to complete the collection.
