News Mobile iPhone iPad

FMV FTW!

Infamous early nineties CD-ROM game The 7th Guest will pop up on the App store in December, original creator Trilobyte Games has announced.

The iPhone/iPod Touch and iPad port will be the original in its entirety with reworked touch screen controls and a revamped UI, according to Touch Arcade.

What is 7th Guest? It was one of the first CD-ROM games and, along with the seminal Myst, helped usher in a new era of videogames packed with full motion video.

Published by Virgin Games, 7th Guest was packed with puzzles players had to solve as they explored a creepy mansion. Moneybags Bill Gates called it "the new standard in interactive entertainment".

Awesome, I remember playing this as a kid, but unfortunatly wasnt quite clever enough to beat it. Would be good to go back and beat it as i recall it being quite good.

Edit: Spelling

The article also fails to mention that the game is awesome.

On a side note, will it be based on the PC or CDi version? The latter was better-looking but also had less puzzles (albeit, admittedly, they removed the most annoying ones).

That game had awesome music by The Fat Man. I still have some of the tunes in my playlist.

Loved it. I'll have to steal my wife's iPad to play it.

@Wendelius "That game had awesome music by The Fat Man. I still have some of the tunes in my playlist.

+1. Love that track "The game"

I remember playing this on PC when it first came out, and it was 'Teh future'. Amazing graphics for its time, and a really creepy atmosphere. Well up for saying hello to this again.

Cool. I had this on CD-i. Wasn't aware some of the puzzles were cut.

I also spent an entire summer once converting it to a text adventure written in BASIC.

Loved this game, and played the hell out of the first few, less difficult puzzles when I was about 10. Thanks Dad.

It did indeed set a new standard in interactive entertainment. It was just a very low, quite cack standard.

It would by fun to see it it though.
