Myst Masterpiece Edition

When I first heard about this game, I was told to try and figure out all of the puzzles, and what I was supposed to do, out for myself. There is a hint and solution option if you need it, but I recommend only using it when you have run out of ideas. Which hopefully should not happen too often if you think logically about each puzzle you come across. I only have two big complaints about the game. One, the game seems to crash on me every five to ten minutes, forcing me to shut down my computer. Two, the maze in the spaceship. Apparently even the creators apologized for that one. Otherwise, the Masterpiece Edition of Myst is a great experience that you should experience for yourself. Go back to the year of 1993 and see what all the fuss was about all those years ago when it first came out.

I never played a game so deep and intense on the atmosphere than this. It is incredibly developped for its time and I cannot recommend it more. Its only issue is the lack of compatibility with Windows 7, but this is so good that I wouldn't mind downgrading to XP just to enjoy this more.

At least I get to see the end credits. Game does not work on Win 7 as others have noted. I remember this black screen with howling wind from playing this back in the day. Without spoiling anything for the kiddos, it is the "bad ending" that happens when you choose to help the wrong person. I wonder if it was also used as an anti-piracy measure back in the day. I'm thinking there may be a CD-ROM check involved in the program. GoG should look into this and find some way to fix it if possible.

An excellent game, which can be powered by wine on ubuntu 8.04 ( 32 bits ) !!

I love Myst Masterpiece but the GOG.com version is very, very glitchy. I've spent the last month on the forums trying to get everything figured out. After many different "fixes" there are still issues with loading saved games. I've not had any other issues with GOG games but this particular game just does not work right.
