The 7th Guest - FMV Games Explored
10For the first video game explored in this season we take a look at the classic The 7th Guest! In addition to being an FMV staple, this game pushed the boundaries and technologies for PC gaming in the early 90's. I'll look at how the game came into being, the challenges it faced in production, and Michaela from Drink the Movies stops by to help me get the last doors opened with a Skeleton Key cocktail!

The 7th Guest is an interactive movie puzzle adventure game, produced by Trilobyte and originally released by Virgin Interactive Entertainment in April 1993.[4] It is one of the first computer video games to be released only on CD-ROM. The 7th Guest is a horror story told from the unfolding perspective of the player, as an amnesiac. The game received press attention for making live action video clips a core part of its gameplay, for its then-unprecedented amount of pre-rendered 3D graphics, and for its adult content. The game was very successful, with over two million copies sold. The game alongside Myst, is widely regarded as a killer app that accelerated the sales of CD-ROM drives. The 7th Guest has subsequently been re-released on Apple's app store for various systems such as the Mac.[5] Bill Gates called The 7th Guest "the new standard in interactive entertainment".
The game has been ported in various formats to different systems, with Trilobyte mentioning the potential for a third entry in the series.[6][7]
