In a blast from the CD-rom-based gaming era's past, "The 7th Guest" appeared in a few interesting places this week, and in one of the least expected pieces of gaming news that you're likely to hear this month, its developer Trilobyte appears to be back as part of an effort to put the original title and its sequel "The 11th Hour" on iPhones. "Trilobyte Games, LLC," as their Facebook page explains, has been "re-organized" in order to "bring existing and new gaming titles to mobile platforms," and Trilobyte's original heads are involved.
"I'm excited to bring this ground-breaking classic title to new platforms and a new generation of gamers," Trilobyte co-founder Rob Landeros said in a press release. "The port has been seamless, and our team has optimized the code for a full-range of mobile devices. Props to Trilobyte co-founder Graeme Devine for supporting our efforts and working with us to make this happen.

Yesterday, Trilobyte Games unveiled plans to port several of their classic PC titles to Apple’s i-Devices. Their new initiative gets underway this December with the release of horror puzzler The 7th Guest, which computer historians (aka old nerds) will remember as the first game to be released as a CD-rom ($74.99 Srp upon its release).
“The port has been seamless, and our team has optimized the code for a full-range of mobile devices (Droid? Windows Phone 7?),” says Trilobyte’s Rob Landeros. “Props to Trilobyte co-founder Graeme Devine for supporting our efforts and working with us to make this happen.”
My father purchased The 7th Guest for me as a child and it terrified me to the point of having him return it. With my increase and courage and the scary images being smaller, I think I can handle it now.
For a rundown of Trilobyte’s to-be-ported list, see the official announcemenet.
