Summary: the 11th hour
Review: I could not play it as it did not want to be downloaded on either a 98 windows or an ME windows so beware as you could be out of pocket money and not be able to use it. the saving grace I didn't pay much for it.

Summary: Not as good as the original
Review: Let me start off by saying that the 7th Guest was a great game. Anyone who likes puzzle games should play it. The sequel, on the other hand is kind of fun but has some really annoying features. Most involving the "cryptic clues" you have to solve in order to find a certain object in the house. Still, if you can get past that there's some fun to be had.

Summary: A creepy--and tough!--return to Stauf Mansion!
Review: Lots of cool FMV (with mostly good acting, even!) makes the story really unfold as you progress. The two levels of problems to solve (solving the riddles, and solving the puzzles) keep the player from getting fed up with one or the other--most times, if you're tired of riddles, there's a puzzle you can work on, or vice-versa. Plus, this time around, you get the feeling that Stauf is really out to get you--his taunts seem to have just a little more barb to them that makes you nervous....

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I FINISHED IT! I WON, I WON!
Review: Oh Stauf, you rascal. I came to rescue a dicey damsel and you threw your worst at me. Granted, I'm no Eistein. Yet, I won. I beat you through mazes and puzzles and mockery and sarcasm. Come back. I'll be waiting! Terrific 3D-game with many progressive challenges to taunt you, goad you, and lure you into finding a way out of the Stauf Mansion. You don't have to blow your thumb trying to shoot someone, no where to do that. This game is scary and contagious. Enjoy! We did and still do. The challenging puzzles are capable of being revisited after you finish with the demonic toymaker Stauf. This game is not for young children.

Summary: Heres how to get the 11th hour to run on any PC!
Review: Ok, Trilobyte was the most forward thinking software company in '92. Just look at The 7th guest! Origin was another excellent company with Wing Commander! My point is, todays game makers lack creativity and talent. How many games are based on the same tired software engines like quake and unreal? TOO MANY!
So, if your really looking to play this excellent game, heres how.....

1. Get a copy of DOS 6.22 format your hard drive and load it up on your PC. "I did not test it to see if this works with the version of Dos that came with 95 or 98 yet."

2. Search the net for three files...
11h242.zip
11hwin.zip
s3vbe318.zip
3. Install The 11th hour and a directory called c:\games\11h
will be created. On a PC with Winzip, unzip all three files to a floppy and take it over to the DOS machine and copy all the files into the c:\games\11h directory.
4. Run the command "s3vbe20 /install" and it will load a generic vesa driver into memory.
5. Run "v32.exe" in the same directory, and ENJOY!!

Now if you'll excuse me, Shauff is taunting me to play a little game!!

Summary: A poor sequel to a not-so-great game.
Review: While The 7th Guest was hardly a fantastic game, The 11th Hour is not even up to its standard. The 11th Hour is mostly boring, and doesn't have the same sense of energy or personality that helped set The 7th Guest apart from other CD-ROM showcase games of the early 1990s. Even if you were a fan of The 7th Guest, The 11th Hour is boring and better skipped by. CD-ROM games these days generally need to be at least a little more than graphics showcases; the inheritance of The 11th Hour is no longer enough in this day and age.
