Myst Masterpiece Edition

Myst is fine piece of great adventure game. Mysterious locations, mysterious music, mysterious world. It was first adventure game with over milion copies sold and it's woth every minute time spend with this tittle. In first Myst from whole series riddles aren't too hard (I say it's easiest from all Myst's), game is little short but anyway i will buy it asap after finishing this review -). Every adventure fan should know and płay this game, it's precersor of the genre. I also hope from other games from series Riven, Myst 3-5, Uru...

It's really a shame that the Myst Masterpiece Edition doesn't do a better job of leveraging ScummVM's capabilities. No options are exposed to allow you to easily adjust graphics options like windowed/fullscreen, filtering, or scaling. The end result is that the original 640x480 graphics are faithfully reproduced on whatever screen you've got - and probably don't look very good. It's still the same Myst that won accolades back in 1993. Still the same point & click gameplay. Still the same puzzles. Still the same haunting, lonely setting. Still the same curious lore. It's still an absolutely fantastic game... But this repackaging just does not do it justice.

Does not work on Windows 7 64 bit OS

It's impossible making it work on windows7. Please vote all the reviews saying it (there are a lot) so they came up to the first page as "most valued"; that way you won't throw your money to the bin like me and like hundreds of gog users. Yeah, I know, my bad for not scrolling down. But what the hell, you should warn it, gog... By the way, couldn't play Myst on my days and it seems that i won't play it nowadays either, so it will be a masterpiece edition... on my imagination.

When my father bought one the first available Windows 95 machines, he also got a printer. Two cd's came with it: a visual designer program, and Myst. Why a videogame would be included I have no idea, but it was the best thing ever at that time. I've spend weeks playing it, getting to know the story behind the island, the two sons of the author, and the mechanics. At that time, I was only used to Nintendo 8-bit games, and this was so far away from that, the experience was an amazing one. I re-visit the game once in a while, just to see what started my interest in adventure games. The low resolution of the videos, the puzzles, the music and sounds, they still trigger great feelings of bewonderment. If you've never played Myst before, I wouldn't recommend it out of the blue, but if you're looking for a good puzzle game and have an interest in how it all began, then by all means, try it out!
