have a very old Diamond Stealth VRAM card utilizing the S3 924 chip
with BUILT IN VESA. At first T7G would lock up occasionally. But if
one manages to free up every last K of memory - to about 620K of
conventional memory, the game will play - albeit at a very flickery,
and slow pace. However, in certain scenes - particularly those
requiring much animation, the sound will cut-out briefly from time to
time until the animation catches up. Still, it's a great thing to
watch just the ending in SVGA at least once.
To give you some idea of how slow the S3 cards really are in DOS, T7G
setup reports this card as being "less than 1% of optimal." Lastly, I
didn't even need the updates from the BBS even though I have version
1.1T of the game[3] (There was an addendum to the original manual on a
seperate piece of paper, and on the top of it, it says: "The 7th Guest
- Version 1.1T Release Notes") to use the S3 in SVGA mode. And
indeed, the update does slow the game down slightly.[4]
