They are not comparible, The 7th Guest had the best graphics I have seen in a game, but it is a puzzle game, no action or adventure at all. Alone in the Dark is a 3rd person adventure/action, no puzzles at all. I liked them both, but your milage may vary. My personal favorite of the two as AinD (is part two out yet??) Kevin

My personal favorite of the two as AinD (is part >two out yet??) > "Alone in the Dark II" (not Jack in the Dark) is out in France, though some copies have trickled over here. It looks pretty nice, but its hard to play without knowing French (to me, anyway). As for comparing 7th Guest and Alone in the Dark, you might want to look at back issues of INTELLIGENT GAMER magazine. Issue #1 had a review by me of AITD, and issue #2 featured 7th Guest. I compared them to each other numerous times in both reviews, so that may help you out. Look in the FTp site wuarchive.wustl.edu In the directory pub\msdos_uploads\icg GAME1193.ZIP and GAME0194.ZIP are the two issues in question. You'll need a PC with Dos 3.1 or better and a color monitor is recommended. Hope that helps. -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- * "I'm thinking of a number between one and ten and I don't know why." * * jba...@sparc01.cc.ncsu.edu * * Editor of INTELLIGENT GAME PLAYER Magazine.

When the 7th Guest came out, it was considered a pioneer of its time. I thought it was a great game. Still do. I was not interested in playing Home Alone, so can't comment.

I didn't like the movie and the game would not interest me either. I've played the Lovecraft game Darkness Within 1 a while back. It wasn't bad but a bit too creepy. Havent played Darkness within 2. Reviews were mixed about it. --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. http://www.avast.com
