Yes 7th guest (and 11th hour) work as well HOWEVER you need the new .EXE
I downloaded to start the game. I do not use the DOS .EXE that came with
the game or run it in dos. Let me see.....

I also meant to say I couldn't get the sound to work on the site below.
I notice it is Quick time and I have Quick time installed, but maybe
not the right version.

Mine is Quick time 6.5.2. I wonder why it didn't work. It works on other
things.

I got it working now. Had to download a plug in for Quicktime 6.5. Not
all games have sound and music, but I haven't gone through them all yet.
But even just for the screenshots alone, its worth the trip. Very well
done site. Somebody has gone to a lot of trouble.

I can get some music but only the intro music in the Wine cellar door.
Are the screenshots where you are supposed to be music/sounds?
