Still a great experience! The updates have kept the experience from yesteryear up-to-date. And that, I believe, was the intention here. Kudos to Cyan for taking the time to update the game that made history. I remember the original release and the time spent playing. The game feels fresh again. It certainly was a great idea to port it to the Mac as well. If you have not played Myst before then this is the version you want to purchase. Many new features have been added in regards to modern graphics capabilities, that in itself is worth the price. Somehow people out there think that hard work should be rewarded with a pat on the back instead of supporting the makers of the game - the studio and its employees. That is a real shame and it is one of the main factors why many studios will not take the time to update their back catalog. It is not feasible in a financial sense. So when people demand that developers cut their own throats for $5.99 or even $0.99, when a bunch of new work has went into a title, what do you think will be the outcome of these circumstances? Studios will not update. The titles will drift into the past and become relics, then they will be sold for pennies. One last thought: What about Mario and the other IP at Nintendo? How many times will large publishers cycle the same game over and over again. Just because they name the game something else doesn't mean it is different. It's the same game with some new mechanics and updated graphics. Not just picking on Nintendo here, but that is one example. I don't see any complaints. No. Quite the opposite. People are happy to slap down their money. So in that regard, Cyan deserves the support and this game is "definitely worth it"!
