The Making Of The 7th Guest (Part 1)

This is part 1 of the Making Of The 7th Guest video. Check my other videos for part 2… This tape was included with certain copies of the ground breaking computer game, “The 7th Guest”. T7G was the first game to really take advantage of the CDROM medium when it was released in 1992. Full motion video, a beautifully rendered environment and creepy atmosphere drew the player into the complex and interesting story line. The player travelled through the mansion of demented toy maker Henry Stauf solving logic puzzles from the easy to the complex all the while unravelling the mystery of the guests and indeed his own existence. Stauf taunts the player though the game with a mixture of insults, clues and fragments of how the mystery is playing out. On the technical side the game was a real triumph of the time. Full screen full motion video was used to advance the plot. The environment was a breathtaking pre-rendered 3D mansion, and the high quality (both MIDI and non-synthesized) audio added to the feeling of reality. Note that to all you MYST fans, The 7th Guest did it first and better.
