Remember when this game was hot shit?

9/27/2006 7:33:26 PM

it still is, ass

9/27/2006 7:39:46 PM

that shit was creepy

9/27/2006 7:50:26 PM

it pissed me off to no end..especially the part in the rocket ship, where you had to get the musical tones just right...FUCK YOU MYST...FUCK YOU...oh I would try to quit, but it keep pulling me back..I just had to beat it. Finally I did...and was so disappointed by the ending

9/27/2006 7:57:54 PM

i dont think i ever made it past the first clue. i may have to dig that out next time im home, especially now that im older and somewhat smarter

9/27/2006 8:04:09 PM

It was pretty engrossing, but I remember being so pissed when I got the last clue.

9/27/2006 8:06:08 PM

I really did not find Myst too hard... the new Myst for the Xbox was fucking insane kick-you-in-the-ass hard from the first clue

9/27/2006 8:48:02 PM

anyone remember Riven?

9/27/2006 8:57:27 PM

I guess I was just too young cause I remember I struggled to get some of those puzzles and my friend and i just used guides throug most of it.

9/27/2006 9:09:51 PM

Is it still the best selling PC game of all time?

9/27/2006 9:27:14 PM

pretty sure Sims stole that honor

9/27/2006 9:31:30 PM

wasn't there a sequel or a parody to this called PYST?

i'm seriously not trying to be an ass

9/27/2006 10:35:18 PM

there was a sequel called Myst II,

i think Pyst was a parody

9/27/2006 10:36:24 PM

i beat it without a guide as a kid. which proves im getting dumber

9/27/2006 10:36:57 PM

it bored me so i just used the guide. then i played some doom.

If you want to be technical, the sequel was called Riven. There was no game called Myst II.

i think it was actually called "Riven: the sequal to Myst"

9/27/2006 11:54:12 PM

"The Sequel to Myst" is the sub title. The main title is just "Riven" The subtitle wasn't even included in most official licensing. The only reason those words appear like that is the significance the number 5 had to the game.

myst was amazing. riven was good. you had to learn a new number system for riven, other then that is was fairly easy.

You can play all 3 on gametap.. which is free for me.

9/28/2006 8:45:15 AM

great game.

the tones thing was the toughest for me.


damn, that was a long time ago

9/28/2006 9:30:10 AM

as if myst wasn't hard enough, riven had to go and take it to 7 CDs worth of fucking clues and puzzles

i also read through the guide to solve the game. Sure it's cheating, but the guide told you what do to in a really cool story-like narrative, which made it interesting as opposed to a step-by-step click-here guide.

Both games are beautiful and strange at the same time.

at the time, Myst's graphics were amazing...now if you play some XBox 360 games or high end PC games, Myst looks like shit

9/28/2006 11:21:07 AM

no shit.

9/28/2006 11:34:02 AM

haha

9/28/2006 12:00:53 PM

I played Myst, but you have to take notes and shit and I just wasn't that into it

9/28/2006 12:06:01 PM

I don't remember, but was it possible to lose risk? I don't mean pick the wrong ending..but was it possible to put yourself in a position where the key to the puzzle was destroyed or something

9/28/2006 12:31:19 PM

^ummm. this thread is about myst

9/28/2006 12:51:09 PM

i meant myst

9/28/2006 2:17:02 PM

There are plenty of puzzles you can do wrong and have to start that puzzle/world over, and there are a number of things that result in getting locked in a place with no way out, so yes.

yeah i didnt understand that, so i mapped it out on about 10 pages of paper by hand.

9/28/2006 3:30:52 PM

I coudlnt get it, had a friend look at it.

he got it with no hand notes in minutes.

he went on to be the best guitar player ive ever met.

imagine that.

9/28/2006 3:36:37 PM

i played through myst 1 fairly easily recently (maybe 3 years ago)

the tones bit wasn't a problem at all for me. but i do have some musical training in my background.

the sequels though are fairly ridiculous. the clues that bugged me in the sequels were the ones that were impossible to see -- so you ended up just randomly clicking everywhere.
