I remember when this game came out my brother had to buy a 2x CD-rom drive. cost him about $500. I was worth it because almost every game after came on CD.

I was actually lucky enough to have a father who worked with computers quite a bit... mostly light graphical design and presentations for his company... because of that, we got all sorts of expensive computer junk as a "work expense."

I was one of the lucky ones lol

Lucky you. I still dont know how my brother got the cash to buy that CDrom drive. My dad was into computers too. Thanks to him I got to enjoy the golden era of PC gaming.

I remember I bought this game because updated my system and not the other way around. I was looking for games to make use of my new rig so I bought the 7th Guest.

Not I. I had a Packard Bell Navigator 486/25, 4 mb ram, 512k video ram, and a 2x cd drive. T7G ran great. 11th hour on the other hand....
