Alright people I am not going to educainment you. If you don't know anything about the 7th Guest series I wrote an article, about the series that kicked off the CD-ROM market!

Know your gaming history!!!!
Wow, you have to be the only other person I've seen that's even heard of the game. I made a huge thread about this game here a long time ago, and nobody bothered to respond to it. It's a fantastic game, and I really wish I could get a copy that'd run on my computer. My god, the memories.
Nice job on the article too, by the way.
Yay another fan! Do you have a copy of the game? There's a patch that you can download that will make it run on Windows 98-XP!!!
I'm trying to find a way that I can capture footage from the game. The making of video was much easier to capture because it was on tape, but capturing from a pc seems to be a pain.

That page has the patch.
I've just recently been able to get a ton of my old DOS games to work! The one that I was absolutely thrilled to play was Megarace!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sadly the sound didn't work but the fact that I could at least play it was awesome. Other worthy titles include: 11th Hour, Clandestiny, X-Files, Bladerunner, Myst.
Oh and thanks for the compliment about the article. I'm thinking about writing more articles like this one.

bringing back an old thread here.. but I still have the dos cdrom of the 7th Guest and does anyone have the 11th Hour game? the sequal to 7th guest. There was a patch for it to run in d3d enviroment but cant find it anymore, should work in xp with the patch
I have the 11th hour. The patch can be found here http://home.comcast.net/~t7g/11Hsetup.exe
Thanks shadow, I've missed that game. Haven't seen any game like these in quite some time.
Yeah I know I miss FMV puzzle games as well. Fans of The 7th Guest are making a third game though [url]www.t7g3.com[/url]. It probably won't ever be as good as the first two but things are still moving along with development.
Me too man, dont see many FMV games anymore.. or even if t hey did it with excellent cgi it'd be cool. Especially with the horror genre. Last FMV game I played was probably Phantasmagoria & its sequel. both were way too easy, I was slightly disappointed since I like a good challenge, the 7th guest series did that perfectly
I think people are afraid of using FMVs because they've always been cheesy. I believe that Command and Conquer 3 will return to FMV, which is awesome. That's one of the reasons why I didn't pick up CC Generals.
