notice the pattern of the arrow keys, the up and down keys to the right of the main arrow keys, and the top row is somewhat visible too but much darker, you can see the last 3 keys on the top row are spaced apart from the rest
The soundtracks to the seminal CD-ROM titles "The 7th Guest" and "The 11th Hour" by George "The Fat Man" Sanger, reimagined as industrial rock. A project over 2 years in the making, made with the full support of The Fat Man himself, and appreciative nods from the founders of Trilobyte Games, Graeme Devine and Rob Landeros. Featuring album artwork by Trilobyte's original 3D artist Rob Stein III (RIP).
The 1990s was a time of rapid change in the tech powering video game graphics. From pre-rendering, to ray casting, to texture-mapped polygons, it seemed that a major innovation was around every corner.
However, the pathway towards graphical realism hasn't always been clear. Let's explore one such forking path: full-motion video. With CD-powered consoles and home PCs arriving in the 90's, FMV-powered games became viable at last, promising the world... but only delivering oddity after oddity.

In 1995, George "The Fat Man" Sanger composed this tune for The 11th Hour. It was supposed to be the main theme, like "The Game" had been for The 7th Guest, but George couldn't get the lyrics to work. So he scrapped it and wrote "The Final Hour" instead, which became The 11th Hour's theme song. This tune instead became the music heard during the train puzzle in The 11th Hour.
For our album "Soup's On: Selections from Stauf's Infernal Jukebox," George went back to his old notes and finished the lyrics. Here, for the first time, is the original theme song to The 11th Hour, with vocals by our very own Jackie Stewart.
Good news, soup fans! Our reimagining of the 7th Guest and 11th Hour soundtracks — "Soup's On: Selections from Stauf's Infernal Jukebox" — will release digitally on Oct. 31. It will be available on Bandcamp and streaming services. Happy Halloween!
One of our most audacious tracks on Soup's On is this medley of "walking around music" from The 11th Hour. This one combines everything from jazz and swing to blistering industrial metal. https://youtu.be/EXPH_wKw1h8
Soup's On releases on digital platforms Oct. 31, 2024!
This special performance of "The Game" from The 7th Guest features the original composer, The Fat Man himself, along with talent from San Diego's Mid-City Community Music group making their recording debut, and an incredible solo from legendary keyboardist Adam Holzman who has performed with Miles Davis, many other jazz legends, and on his own renowned recordings. Scarlet Moon Halloween Volume III is available on all digital storefronts and streaming platforms today.
In 1998, after FMV had already been buried, the last hero of the failed genre hit the shelves... and no one played. And those who did, didn't like it. This is Tender Loving Care, with John Hurt!
Excerpt from a well-known TV show hosted and created by Stewart Cheifet featuring George "The Fat Man" Sanger, the same year he was composing for Putt-Putt Saves The Zoo. It discusses one of his biggest contributions to game audio, "Fat Labs" certification, and Putt-Putt Goes to the Moon makes an appearance.
Join The 7th Guest creators Graeme Devine, George “The Fat Man” Sanger, and (remotely) Matt Costello as they discuss stories from creating the original CD-ROM horror classic, as well as the sequel, The 11th Hour. Led by Phantasmagoria 2‘s own Paul Morgan Stetler, you’ll hear tales about writing the puzzles, working with the actors to create haunting FMV scenes, and ask your own burning questions!
Of course the game is still available on Steam, GOG, Switch, Android, iOS...
Note that this is DIFFERENT from the VR game. The title is misleading, the VR game is not a port it is a reboot with slightly different story and totally different puzzles.
