Ultima VII will not run at all under OS/2's DOS box because Origin so
stupidly wrote their own memory manager that is incompatible with any
other's. Heck under DOS I had to boot it off a floppy that didn't load
up QEMM. What a pain. 

A fair comparison would be Ultima Underworld, or Wolfenstein 3D which
both run great under OS/2.
