Myst Masterpiece Edition

Myst is one of the icons of the gaming industry. It was a revolutionary game in it's day, one that is studied in video games design courses around the world for it's impact on the media. Unfortunately, it hasn't aged very well. This game simply isn't stable any more, and by being chained to Quicktime as it's main graphics engine, it is being dragged down as the format slowly makes it's way into oblivion. For all the immersion this game provided, the stability issues will drag you right back out of it, making this more of a chore than an enjoyable experience. Plus, there is absolutely no replay value - maybe if you can let it sit on a shelf and forget about it for a few years and then see if you can still solve it again, you might get some repeat satisfaction, but otherwise this is more for being able to say you own Myst than you actually play Myst.

Amazing classic point click adventure game that can you can easily get stuck on. Controlled entirely by your mouse. There is a help system which will adjust the amount of detail it gives based on how many times you click on it. If your very stuck it will walk you right through the puzzle. This game has a way of making you want to come back for more, just be aware of that and enjoy!

Without question, Myst and its sequels are above and beyond my favorites. The worlds you explore are highly imaginative, and the story lines captivating. If hack-and-slash is your thing, you'll be disappointed; your brain is what unlocks this game. The music is a key component to these games; this is the only game series that I leave the background music on, and put on high-quality headphones to play. It really draws you in!

you're wasting my time ;..... and yours . my brother ...... achenar........ bring me the red pages lol remember one of the first game on cd rom a gigantic 600 mbyte of data . you needed a 486dx i think with 4mbyte of ram

Myst is, of course, one of the greatest adventure/puzzle games of all time. However, you should know that there is a bug in the Masterpiece Edition. I'm playing this on Windows 10 (where most of the game runs beautifully), but this issue, according to forums, has been with ME since it released on Win XP. For some players, the bug occurs in the Mechanical Age, making it impossible to collect all of the clues to leave the age. It's not a game-breaking bug as you can simply look up a guide to find the clues you need, but it's disappointing nonetheless - hence my 4 star review. Otherwise, this is still the classic game you may have grown up with or may just be experiencing for the first time.
