I played the 7th Guest on my Mac Centris 610 when I was 12 or 13 when it came out. Was fun and the visuals, if you can believe it, were really impressive.

There were a lot of games coming out right around that time that were essentially just large quantities of still images or video made interactive by software. Other such games included titles like Myst and the Journeyman Project. They came along right when CD-ROMs showed up, giving computers access to a lot more media storage but when they still lacked much computing or graphics processing power.
