Anyone remember Myst?

[Poomanchu745]

So my mind was wandering off during my Poly Sci class and thought back to my gaming memories of Myst. I remembered a photo-realistic game that was a very crazy puzzle game that had an eerie feeling to it. I was only 6 at the time that it came out so needless to say the game was a little too sophisticated for me as I couldn't figure out a lot of the puzzles but the game has just sort of stuck with me all these years. I was looking at screenshots earlier and have to admit that the graphics are still very decent and had to be damn amazing back in 1993 when it was released. I wish now that I had a better grasp of the game so I could have played it all the way through but it still leaves a lasting impact on me and my gaming experience to this day. I have to believe that Myst was one of the most innovative games to ever hit the PC and PC gaming is better for it having been made.

I had the original (rather, my father did), but I was even younger than you -- I think I was only like three when it came out.

Actually, I have the DS version that they made recently to bring the game back. It's still really fun, even in teeny-weenie eye-strain-o-vision.

I played it once, couldn't get past the first puzzle, couldn't find the first puzzle, the hint button did absolutely nothing.

It's supposed to be a great game.

 

[Hiphophippo]

Unfortunately, yes.

More of a 7th guest / 11th hour man.

I have number three and need to buy the others. Myst is actually pretty sweet, I think.

Especially the last puzzle in number three.

I was playing Myst in primary school, around 12 years ago, and damned if I don't want to play it now since I only got about 10 minutes into it.

Absolutely no idea whether new operating systems will support it or not, or even if my laptop will (it's pretty budget).

 

[qazmatoz]

I got it on my phone a few months ago, played it for 5 minutes while sitting on the toilet and never played it again. Great music though.

 

[lacktheknack]

YES.

THE WHOLE SERIES IS AMAZING.

Honestly, if you didn't feel shivers while rolling around a pinball in Myst 3, you have no soul.

 

[badgersprite]

Yes. I was really really young when my Dad had it. I think he only let me play it after he'd already finished pretty much everything because I don't remember ever making anything happen. oO At the time though, it was the prettiest game I'd ever seen.

I never actually "played" it, but I remember messing with it for less than an hour at my great uncle's house (he was the only one in my family who had a computer that could run it). It was great, I only remember a room with a table and chair and a few pieces of colored paper, I was a little confused as I had just seen Jurassic Park and I thought there were velociraptors following me.

 

[Kasawd]

That God damned ball of wood and ice confused me when I was younger. How long did the end take you and wasn't the cliffhanger a *****?

 

[thiosk]

i was a little older. I never did complete that game; aligning the star charts to match the constellations in the sky didn't come to me for YEARS of owning that game.

 

[Snotnarok]

I remember it but I can't say I ever enjoyed it.

Not saying it's a bad game or anything, I'm just not into that game type.

 

[Glerken]

I've been thinking about downloading the ipod touch version of it.

Wasn't really sure if it was fun or not. I'll probably give it a try eventually.

 

[War Penguin]

I remember that game. I never beaten it but I loved it. My dad and I would play together and take notes on the puzzles, how they worked, how to doit again, etc.. Man, that game was great.

 

[Poomanchu745]

Ya I would like to really go back and download the game for free somewhere just to play through it again since now I would have a better grasp on the puzzles and actually be able to beat the game. Definitely a classic that should not be forgotten in the lore of PC gaming.

 

[leady129]

I played it and loved it. The entire series was brilliant, although, I'll have to admit, the final game was a bit disappointing for me.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

Yeah, played the DS version. Got fed up with not knowing what objects I could actually interact with so I bought the Masterpiece edition off e-bay but I can't get it to work on my PC.

FYI there making a new Myst for the PS3, exclusively, oh and the game maker guy said that its only possible on the PS3 because of its awesomeness.

Where is the source? I would be skeptical to think any game could live up to what was the first. I played the 2nd game and never got caught up in it as I did with the first.
