9: The Last Resort Download PC

9: The Last Resort is a 1996 adventure computer game developed by Tribeca Interactive. The game was produced by Robert De Niro and Jane Rosenthal, and sported an all-star cast of voice-artists including Cher, James Belushi, Christopher Reeve, and Steven Tyler & Joe Perry of Aerosmith. It also includes the visual style and artwork of Mark Ryden.

The game came three years after the release of Myst. Like Myst, 9 is a graphically-rich 3D prerendered world, taking advantage of high-quality QuickTime video. It was written for the Windows and the Mac OS platforms, unlike most games of the time which ran on DOS platform as well/instead.

9 features a large cast of characters, and is rich in character interaction. The game world is populated by bizarre environments, objects and creatures. There is a strong musical theme running through the entire game, as evidenced by a majority of the puzzles, including the main recurring puzzle. There is also a strong element of humour in the game.

Title

Formally, the title of the game is just "9", as shown on the box cover. However, the title "The Last Resort" is also displayed on the packaging in different locations, and in the closing credits as "9 - The Last Resort", leading most people to refer to the game as "9: The Last Resort". The title is always written as '9', the numeral, not the word.

The name "9" refers to the nine muses which inhabit the resort (from Greek mythology). The muses are represented by various characters in the game.

The name "The Last Resort" is the title of the building in which the game is set. It is a luxury hotel which belonged to a man called Thurston Last, but is also a pun on the term "last resort". The title paves the way for puns on the name "Last", which are made throughout the game.
