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.
