Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "The 7th Guest" in English language version.
Seventh Guest, more than any other game (although Rebel Assault and Myst may stake rival claims), finally convinced PC gamers en masse that a CD-ROM drive was a necessity, and not simply an expensive luxury.
Virgin claims to have shipped 500,000 units of The 7th Guest.
Another Virgin title—The 7th Guest—has now sold in excess of 2.3m units globally.
By the time Virgin Games Inc. debuts the "Seventh Guest," its new video-game mystery, which cost $1 million to develop, it will have already conceded one market — Latin America. If not for a tough-minded distributor in the Far East, Virgin owner Sir Richard Branson — whose British empire includes luxury airliners, Nintendo cartridges, and his own investment bank — might concede the Asian market for the game, which is scheduled to be shipped this week.
