I'm no expert, but they definitely used more than one kind of media to make that. It's amazing what computers can do now.

Also, it seems a bunch of internet personalities got together and are working on a web series of the 7th Guest. If that seems like the sort of thing you want to subject yourself to, there's still time to give them money.

I remember playing this game on a local CompUSA's demo PC. A crowd grew to watch me play. My parents tried to find me in that crowd. Haha!

This was one of the first games that myself, family, and friends, would play as a group. Sure you would have one person running the controls, but we once had 10 people standing behind, all trying to figure out the next puzzle.

Did you guys finish the game?

Ah...the 7th Guest. Back in those days almost every PC makers are bundling this game and/or Myst to up-sell their CD-ROM drives.

According to my http://zimage.com/~ant/antfarm/about/toys.html history, I got my first CD-ROM drive (2X speed) in 12/1993. I remember buying game CDs for Rebel Assault, Command & Conquer (Tiberian Dawn), etc. It was awesome.

Did anyone play 11th Guest, the sequel? I played that on Computer City(?)'s computer demo PC. It was OK.

I didn't finish Myst, just wasn't interested. But Rebel Assault, that was cool as heck back in those days. The Star Wars experience was so immersive even though the controls were simple. C&C was campy fun too. I played each and every Wing Commander, TIE/X-Wing space sim games there were. Descent & Homeworld...

Can you guess I'm a sci-fi fan? X-D

Yeah Myst wasn't for me too. It's pretty, but boring to me. Too bad Rebel Assault series were linear. Cutscenes were cool though! Ah yea, X-Wing, TIE Fighter, etc. Don't forget Dark Forces and others. DOOM obviously for me. Descent! On Kali. Ha. Did you know about the new Descent game, Overload? https://playoverload.com/ if you haven't seen it! It was pretty and nice. I never got into Wing Commander and Homeworld series.

Yes Kali! Was on it all the time!

Knew about the new Descent a few days ago on BluesNews. Pretty pumped to try that. Hard to a get decent AAA space sim game these days. I played the MechWarriors game to death. So cool to control those giant mechs using a HOTAS setup.

I still have my Kali registration. There's a free sampler of Overload game. Try it now! MW was OK. I am currently trying to finish my old Windows games from a decade ago as an unemployed guy! I finished C&C3:KW and Crysis 1 recently. I am currently playing World in Conflict.

Btw, you should use quote in VS comments. At least I would get e-mail notification of new re(plie/sponse)s.

First, it says "six guests were invited..." then later it's like, "when all the 7 guests have gathered..." Is that an error or am I missing something?

I do remember this game, but I don't remember playing it. Alone in the Dark was more my thing. And Star Control II.

Yeah! Original Alone in the Dark 1 was awesome. I remember playing its demo on my IBM PS/2 model 30 286 10 Mhz desktop PC! It was scary.

Right? I still remember tiptoeing through that attic... *shudder*

What was amazing was the outdated polygon graphics, MIDI music, etc. that still scared us. I remember having a hard time in the attic. Its controls and camera views drove me crazy! Haha. I never actually got far too in the full game. Did you finish it?

FYI from many years ago on VS: http://videosift.com/video/Alone-In-The-Darks-First-SceneLevel-Walkthrough and http://videosift.com/video/Alone-in-the-Dark-1-Introduction-With-MIDI-Music

Yeah. More than once I think. It was a long ass time ago, but I remember the end involves you leaving the mansion, amid happy-ish music and a bright sunny day, and being picked up by your driver who ends up being this undead skeleton dude or something.

The game I'm really enjoying right now is Prey (2017). OMG so good. I saw some let's plays of it and initially it felt underwhelming, but the game is so immersive and non-linear, with a great story and evolving game world... It's not so much a horror game, but it has tension and some jump-scares here and there. I feel like it's got some gameplay similarities to Alone in the Dark 1, oddly enough, despite being completely and entirely different.

I only played the original Prey demo which was decent. System Shock 2 scared me.

I liked the 2006 Prey, but it wasn't the best game ever (I actually have a boxed copy--remember those? ). Prey 2017 is said to be System Shock 3, I'm sure you know. It's not really in the Prey universe, but I guess they couldn't acquire the System Shock IP.

I still have software boxes. The oldest one is Firehawk, Thexder 2, which my parents kept in my old toy box that I discovered several years ago!

Moving this video to ant's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

I don't have privileges to promote this but man, you made me think back to the olden days. For years, I had only a PC speaker, and all my friends had an AdLib or Sound Blaster. The day I got a ProAudio Spectrum 16 was the day I discovered just how much I'd been missing out on all those years. King's Quest and Commander Keen never sounded so good.

I almost bought a PAS16. I ended up with a SB16(?) back then. I never got into KQ series since I wasn't an adventure game guy. However, CK games were fun. I liked 4-6 better than 1-3. Of course, Wolf3D and DOOM. Dang!

We used to have LAN parties in the computer lab at my school playing Doom, Duke 3d, Hexen, Descent, ROTT, etc. That was a little later, but still ancient history. Gaming isn't the same anymore and I'm not sure if that's good or bad.

I did that during my college and post-college days. I miss them. Great games too. I wasn't a ROTT fan though, but still played it. We're old now.

Amazing game. I loved how it screamed at you when you exited the game:

"COME BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!!!!"

Wasn't the punchline that YOU were the 7th guest?
