Trilobyte Games Releasing 7th Guest On iOS

Multimedia lives! Trilobyte Games has announced that it will be bringing its classic adventure game The 7th Guest to a new generation on iOS. The game will be available for download through iTunes in December, allowing players to explore the spooky Stauf mansion on iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch for $3.99.

It's a far cry from the early days of CD-ROM gaming, when the game sold for $79.95 in 1993. The game was an early example of the new technology's potential, showing off live actors, voice acting, and state-of-the-art graphics.

Following the release of the 7th Guest, Trilobyte plans to release a new version of the game's sequel, the 11th Hour, as well as mobile versions of Psych, Let's Do Diddley, POV, and TLC.

Never played those games, but I heard they were horrifying.

The 7th guest made one of the top 10 scariest moments in gaming in the October 2007 issue, I remember Manhunt and Fatal Frame as well. I'm glad I can finally experience said terrifying moment so easily now once it releases.

I remember listening to that game's soundtrack on my CD player over and over. Good stuff. I wish they would release it on PC again...

HAHAHA. This is one of the first games I got for my brand new IBM Aptiva 386 my freshman year of college. I never finished it though (*** work and school!).

I brought it home and my mom wouldn't let me play it in the house because it was "an evil game".

Classic gaming! I love it with all these companies bringing back some of the true classics of gaming. Way to be Trilobyte!

7th Guest was such a great game! I'll be downloading this on the iPhone! Now, if only I had an iPad to go with it.

That's good I guess

This was one of the scariest games I've ever played...or at least it was in '93/'94. Loved the puzzles and stuff. Wish they'd release it for Android...

Ah, the memories. It and 11th Hour were great. I would get them but I'm not going to go get an iWhatever just to play. Perhaps it will be on XBLA, PSN or GOG. What say you Trilobyte?
by KGreekness Tuesday, November 02, 2010 at 02:25 PM

Thats awesome news. Glad that more people will be able to experience this game. It's not as well known as it should be these days.
by mrsims31 Tuesday, November 02, 2010 at 03:48 PM

Ahh... what a great experience this game was. XBLA PLEASE!!!
by Di5a5terp13ce Tuesday, November 02, 2010 at 03:54 PM

Never played these games before.Looks creepy though so I might check it out.
by superpretendoboy89 Tuesday, November 02, 2010 at 11:15 PM

I remember playing both this and the 11th hour back in the day, and they were great. Has Myst and its iterations been remade yet, because I think its about time :D Oh and Return to Zork would also be a cool remake... hopefully I'd be able to get past that *** vulture though lol

Not sure if I would buy this or not.

I went through the hassle of downloading a torrent of this game which I then configured to run through a virtual machine image of Windows, and once I got the game running, it felt SO dated to me. I played through the first 4-5 puzzles and got bored with it.

It's great that such an iconic game is being re-released for current consoles, but I'm not sure if it stands the test of time...

Actually, it would be kind of interesting to see revisit some of those old FMV titles. My favorites were Loadstar: The Legend of Tully Bodine, and Ground Zero Texas.
