The 7th Guest is a masterful work of art on the computer, leagues above anything put out by Sierra and Origin with respect to look and feel. Full speech, full score, SVGA, and works the CD-ROM to death getting it all out at a respectable transfer rate. I think Origin still wins in the gameplay division, but 7th Guest is only a little ahead of Sierra in the thin play area (t7g has a good plot, it's just the handling that leaves a little to be desired). | If you've got a hot lead on a new | *--Joe--* | PC game, call the announce line at | js...@polaris.async.vt.edu | csi...@polaris.async.vt.edu |
