I loved 7th Guest. Hope this new version gets made and wish them good
luck on it.

Well, a preview on Just adventure. That could be a good sign. I hope the
new 7th Guest game goes forward and its good that the new team were
able to get the rights to make it. I hope the new game has similar type
music and varied puzzles as the original 7th Guest. One thing though - I
hope they don't have a maze puzzle like the one in the original 7th
Guest ("Feeling lonely" ) - it drove me
crazy. I will be looking forward to the 13th Doll. Thanks for the
information.

Noo! The unbeatable games were my favorite part. I wrote computer programs
to play all of them, and Alt-Tabbed back and forth to see if my program
could beat their program - I always thought it would be neat to have a game
where you *had* to write computer programs as part of the play :-).

The only time I had a problem was in the endgame for 11th hour when my
program won fair and square by getting 5 beans in a row, but the 11th hour
code didn't notice that I'd won (my final bean was placed between two
shorter segments so it wasn't the endpoint of a 5 bean row, but nevertheless
caused a 5 bean row to be created :-).

I still have the programs on my web site at:
