Re: Help to Trace a game

Haha, no, I actually bought it. The only pirate CD's then (even before 7th guest came out) were compilation CD's with 100's of disk based games zipped up, which would sell for about £70-£80. Have still got them all in big boxes somewhere...

The hardest bit I thought was that board game part, where you move around the round blobs and they kinda "absorb" the ones next to them... that was nearly impossible, and the most frustrating game ever. The text/riddle thing was a nightmare as well, but I posted the answer to that earlier in this thread (so don't look at it again ).

BTW it's a DOS game so you might have fun getting it to run under windows, not having sound drivers etc., unless it runs under one of those DOS emulator things.

Re: Help to Trace a game

ok, managed to complete the first one 7th guest in nearly a day - but there is one game (the second last puzzle of the game) which i can not get my head around......i cant seem to solve it.

does anyone know how to complete this, its basically like a game called Infection or the Gem game, where you move blobs and they can swallow the others making them their colour, im blue and i have tried for hours every day trying to do this, every other game i can complete.

Re: Help to Trace a game

www.gamefaqs.com has a few faqs on 7th Guest, given its popularity not entirely surprising. Give 'em a shot.

Re: Help to Trace a game

That's the exact part of it I was talking about, it's a total fuckin' nightmare... almost impossible and soooo frustrating. I played it for HOURS and eventually managed to beat the computer once (only time I ever won at that game). You just have to think ahead on every move you make, but basically it seems to be down to what the computer does with it's moves as to whether you can actually beat it or not.

Re: Help to Trace a game

i read on a website that not even the creators could complete this part and it has taken some a few months to get the stratagy correct i really want to finish this one before i move onto 11th hour - and i know this games in that as well :s

i have checked one of the walk throughs and it says yoiu do not have to complete this to carry on with the game and complete it but i cant seem to be able to access the 2nd last game i have which is the knives game cause the doors closed and no other way in

i have completed all the others around it and i only have, blobs game, knives and then skyscraper. all the rest are done

i dont know where else to go to get the other games
