In 1991 he began working at Virgin Games, where he would meet Graeme Devine, with whom he would partner to form Trilobyte. Landeros and Devine enjoyed success at Trilobyte with their groundbreaking CD-ROM game The 7th Guest, which sold over 2 million copies. Bill Gates called The 7th Guest "the new standard in interactive entertainment."
