It's somewhat surprising how few puzzle games have made it onto ADG, so finally we're taking a look at one of the most elaborate ones ever made: The 7th Guest, a series of logic puzzles dressed in a deep and disturbing story with lots of FMV to watch. The game was developed by Trilobyte and published through Virgin Interactive in 1993. This episode covers how to play the game, how to obtain it, and how to get it working best on modern systems. ------------------------------------------ Additional Information and Corrections: * Here's the link for the game's page on GOG: http://www.gog.com/game/the_7th_guest/?pp=91dfde1d6e005e422f64a59776234f1f4c80b5e4 * Here's the link for the game's page on Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/app/255920/ * And here's the link for the newly remastered game on Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mojotouch.t7g * Some fans have pointed out that the large size of the box was because some versions contained a VHS tape which went over the making of the game. My copy is a pre-patched copy so I'm going to guess that's why the one I was given didn't come with that. :P * Much to my surprise, a lot of the graphical glitches I was experiencing weren't captured in the recorded footage, although a couple were. They're mostly caused by palette glitches as the 256 colour palette is constantly being modified to allow for much greater colour definition between the various parts of the game. * I didn't include the "Tandy Sensation" as a "Tandy" device in the game stats because it's a very different thing compared to the original Tandy 3-voice chipset. :B * This game is marketed for adults over the age of 18 but the curious thing is, there's actually very little graphic violence in this thing. In fact, all you have to do is take out two scenes of murder, one of which is completely pointless to the story, and it could easily pass as a teen-rated game. Since I never showed either of these violent moments in this episode there was no need for the violence warning! :B * Here's a link to the game's wiki page on the ScummVM website in case you wish to go that route and need help setting it up: http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/The_7th_Guest ------------------------------------------ Pixelmusement Website: http://www.pixelships.com ADG on Pixelmusement: http://www.pixelships.com/adg Alphabetical Index of ADG Episodes: http://www.pixelships.com/adg/index2.html
