| | Myst - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Myst was so successful that it sparked a new genre of computer game, the first-person adventure-puzzle game. | | | Though Myst was an extremely popular and commercially successful game it was also intensively criticised, mostly around the lack of "action" in the game, leading some to claim the game is boring (a typical review of this type describes the game as a "slide-show"). | | | After traveling through each of the Ages of Myst, Selenitic, Stoneship, Mechanical, and Channelwood, the player would return to the starting point of the game, Myst Island, with all the information necessary to complete the game. |

| | Review: RealMyst |
| | Myst introduced an era of gaming in which you had to have the sound on to play; it was dutifully copied by quite a lot of the games that followed. | | | So now you are in Myst, in the meat of the game. | | | Myst has the classic star-shaped plot-line: a central area where introduction and finale are played out, "surrounded" (not in a physical sense) by several side-worlds which may be played in any order. |

| | Game Revolution Review Page - Game Revolution |
| | Myst is a very long and thought-involved game. | | | Myst is like a role-playing game without all the funky dice or weapons. | | | Since Myst had so many difficult puzzles, everyone would ask everyone else about the game, and soon enough word spread throughout the free world that Myst was the game to have. |

| | Myst walkthrough - solution |
| | The big hint in Myst is not to be afraid to try anything in the game. | | | This concludes the Myst walkthrough but there are many things to see in this game that were not touched upon here. | | | If you hurried through Myst using this walkthrough, or you just want to go do some sight seeing in some of the best graphics available on a PC, use the book Atrus gives you to go back to Myst. |

| | Lora's CRPG Reviews: Myst |
| | Myst was a classic, a game that has profoundly influenced the past decade of game design (and largely for the better). | | | If you're really looking to recreate the sense of magic you felt playing Myst for the first time, though, my recommendation is actually the graphic adventure game The Longest Journey. | | | The 'plot' overarching the three is poorly done and of little importance, so it doesn't really matter which order you play them in, but the graphics and interface do improve from game to game. |

| | , ergo we can't include 'quandaryheader.html' like we do elsewhere --> |
| | Myst is a mouse-driven game with a small, pointing hand cursor for navigation that changes shape to an open hand for operating objects. | | | It's daunting because this title takes the prize for being one of the best selling computer games ever, and it also holds the esteemed honour of being the single game that introduced a whole wave of new players to the delights of adventure games. | | | There are many clues strewn throughout the gameworld and many of the problems are aural-based so I must stress that Myst is not a game for hearing impaired players. |

| | Amiga reviews: Myst |
| | Myst is intriguing, addictive and thoroughly gorgeous to look at, although I had a few problems getting the game to run on the A1200 in the office (solved with a patch downloaded from a website) and it needs a whopping 8Mb of fast RAM. | | | It's not often a game appears, on any format, that manages to completely engage the player, but Myst is just such a game. | | | Myst has this funny way of making you care about what's going on. |

| | Low-Spoiler Guide to Myst |
| | The only exception is at the very end of the game; when a character tells you he'll be right back, you must not move from the spot until he returns, or you will miss what he would have said to you next. | | | Problem Spots: There are no realtime sequences in Myst and no potential dead ends; until the final endgame, there is no way to lose the game and no alternate paths to take. | | | There's not much point in playing a puzzle game if you know the solutions in advance, after all. |

| | Myst Masterpiece Edition (Mac review) |
| | If, on the other hand, you are a Myst fan who was hoping that this new edition might introduce something completely new in terms of gameplay (a 'bonus' world to explore, for example), you will have to wait for the arrival of Myst 3. | | | What Presto has done with the original Myst might be described as 'remastering.' Its effects become noticeable immediately after you start the game: the digitally remastered soundtrack makes the music sound more spacious and opulent, while the 16-bit sound effects pack more aural punch than those in the original. | | | After the new engine has been ported to the Mac (yes, times have changed since 1993), Myst: ME is now available on the platform from which the original game had emerged. |

| | Myst went on to become the best-selling PC game of all time, ushering in the CD-ROM revolution and spawning sequels such as Riven and Myst III: Exile. | | | As in previous games, the areas we had a chance to take a look at were nothing short of stunning, with lots of lush forests, intriguing architecture and whimsical gadgets. | | | While many dismissed it as an interactive slideshow, it set new standards for immersion: everything from the photorealistic graphics and imaginative settings to the near-invisible interface and purposefully cryptic game manual drew players into its mysterious world. |

| | The Myst series endures as one of the most beloved in gaming, with its characteristically rich, immersive, beautiful worlds, interesting characters, involved mythos, and challenging puzzles. | | | Atrus appeals to you for assistance in finding her, and you will embark on a journey that will take you through four different "ages," including the worlds that you stranded Sirrus and Achenar in, in the first game. | | | Uru is a very good game with impressive production values, but if it had actually shipped complete with the promised multiplayer, it perhaps could have been much more. |

| | The game of Myst starts on a place called Myst Island. | | | Jon Katz gave it a rave in his Rolling Stone column; Myst games began growing legs and walking off the shelf. | | | And it was not from any one of the big companies -- any of the majors (Spectrum HoloByte, Electronic Arts, LucasArts Entertainment) who for years had been trying to create a game that adults could somehow relate to. |

| | Not only is Myst the best-selling adventure game of all time, but it has also been accused of the rebirth of or, according to who you talk to, the demise of the adventure genre. | | | Countless articles have been written and web sites created in admiration for this game. | | | Very few understand the meaning behind it and even fewer play it to completion. |

| | Review: Myst 3: Exile |
| | But "Myst Three" is about the most characterless, bland identity I could wish upon a game. | | | It's also a confused curse, as Myst and Riven were quite different games, and I shouldn't imply that a single magic ingredient informed both. | | | Well, Myst 3 does a lot of this too, but it's a bit less subtle than it was in Riven. |

"Treegate" is the passage played as the player enters the chamber on Myst Island containing the Channelwood linking book, and which continues during the book's overview of that Age. |

| | This game is the standard by which all other adventure games have been measured ever since it was made (turn on your speakers and refresh to hear a smidgen of the unforgettable theme music now). | | | Cyan does not sell the game, but they sell the soundtrack to the game, and books about the people, history and culture of D’ni as they relate to the story of MYST and Riven (We had to have and read all three books). | | | However do save periodically anyway (you will want to go back), with multiple saves at the end so you can try out all of the different possible endings. |

| | Unlike Real Myst or Uru: Ages Beyond Myst, Myst IV: Revelation is not a 3D game. | | | A port of the PC version, Myst on the Xbox is a slow and thoughtful game, but one that doesn't quite live up to its PC parent. | | | Revelation doesn't come with a free copy of Myst III like the PC version did, but the $20 price tag means you get a lot of game for your money, and this is certainly no rental, because you will not beat it in a weekend. |
