The Groovie engine was originally developed to use the full potential of the then emerging CD-ROM, and it can be considered a video player with interactive parts. There are two main versions of the engine: the first version (just used in [[The 7th Guest]]) plays VDX videos using 256 colors, while the second version (used from [[The 11th Hour]] on) requires 16bpp to play ROQ videos (a format which was later also used in id Software's Quake 3). | The Groovie engine was used to create several games between 1993 and 1998.
