Trilobyte

United States Founded 1990 Website

Founded by Graeme Devine and Rob Landeros, Trilobyte is most famous for creating the PC game The 7th Guest, one of the first computer games for CD-ROM and which Bill Gates called "the new standard in interactive entertainment.". The game was a puzzle-solving game similar in style to Myst. But unlike Myst which used static screens, The 7th Guest was the first game to use full rendered 3D animation and navigation. For the time, it had amazing graphics by Rob Landeros, Robert Stein III, Gene Bodio, Alan Iglesias, MIDI music by The Fat Man, a fun story by Matthew J. Costello and a powerful, innovative game engine by Graeme Devine.
