Take a look at a rare "Making of The 7th Guest" VHS tape originally bundled with the big box PC release of the groundbreaking CD-ROM game developed by Trilobyte and published by Virgin Games during the early 1990s multimedia gaming boom. This behind-the-scenes featurette explores the development of one of the most influential FMV-based adventure games of the era including interviews with the creators, early motion capture work, and the integration of live-action video into gameplay using emerging CD-ROM technology.
Founded in December 1990 by Graeme Devine and Rob Landeros, Trilobyte helped push PC gaming into the multimedia era with The 7th Guest becoming a landmark title in CD-ROM gaming history. This video also documents the preservation and digitization of the original VHS tape using a Panasonic DMR-ES46V DVD recorder to capture and preserve the analog source material for modern viewing.
