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.
