Myst Masterpiece Edition

I like mist but it wasn't what I was expecting. I'm sure if you are patient and take your time this game is amazing. I spent three hours wondering around an island as big as my porch and did as much as flick a few buttons and read about five books. I'm very certain this is a classic deep down I just didn't see it.

You know, I have heard a number of other people - in person or on the Web - say that Myst was the reason that adventure gaming went on the decline that it did from the mid 1990s until now. If indeed that is the case, then it is because of a single reason - Myst executed the ideal of adventure gaming. There was no real backstory because none was needed; you were simply a person drawn into the place depicted in the image of a strange book, and you need to find out where you are and what you need to do to get back home. Further, there is no need to have knowldge of the developer's thought process to proceed through the game; many of the puzzles of the game can be overcome through experimentation, intuition, and visual and audial cues. This, my friends, is authentic advenure. It also helps that the world is so inviting (even after almost 20 years since the original Myst came on the market) that you will want to return to the worlds of Myst long after you have figured out all of the puzzles and secrets. If there is a classic game to be had, this is it.

this game is great for those who like old school games the graphics are great for a old school game would recommend this game to all my friends .

Best game ever! still holds up in the 21st Century.

Play realMyst for starters in island Myst, ChannelWood and StoneAge. Do it alone in dark for atmosphere. But then leave that version because it is not so user friendly UI etc. Complete game with this masterpiece edition with ScummVM on your phone and copy necessary files from your PC to phone. It is not very difficult, but game is.
