The DP Oft-Vacationing Random Game Generator (tm) seems to have chosen its first CD-i title, the popular PC port of The 7th Guest.
Wow, early multimedia. And yet, this one holds up pretty well, probably because it wasn't nearly as ambitious as many of those early multimedia CD-ROM games were. Look at how dated titles like Star Wars Rebel Assault, Night Trap, or the myriad of educational titles appear today. Then look at 7th Guest - using video sparingly and concentrating on the puzzle-solving with simple but attractive graphics.
What do you think? Write your mini-review here. Since most of you have probably not played the CD-i version, feel free to comment on the PC version as well.
