Be My Guest

Runtime: 61 Minutes

We look back at the 7th Guest, released for MS-DOS computers in April of 1993. Our discussion starts with the history of Trilobyte, and its founders, Rob Landeros and Graeme Devine. We'll look at the development of the 7th Guest, before delving into user and critics reviews from both 1993 and now. Finally, we talk about why this game is considered one of the 'killer apps,' in gaming history. Join us for another spooky trip down Memory Card Lane.
