TCW Podcast Episode 194 - The 7th Guest
We cover the 7th guest in so much detail it's frightening! This game has everything from a genius bedroom programmer from the UK teaming up with an artist who made some raunchy comics, to bar fights, Twin Peaks, and a Shakespeare troupe. The 7th guest has it all to bring us a game that turned CD-ROM from an expensive luxury to a must-have item for any PC. Join us as we look at all the influences that led to the creation of a horror classic The 7th Guest! Just don't try and beat the virus!
