Myst for Windows

Pros: A wonderful, captivating experience
Cons: You may not get much sleep until you finish

Myst is probably the single most original computer game ever created. It redefined the whole concept of computer games, creating a new interactive experience where there were no points or enemies, no commands to type, just a world to explore with simple...

Pros: amazing game
Cons: none

Myst is possible the best game ever. Myself and my friend played this game every day for one to two hours for a few months. I purchased this game because it looked great and I had heard about it from another friend. Myst is the best game for anything...

Pros: Groundbreaking adventure game
Cons: Might be too hard for some

When Myst first came out, it was a groundbreaking game. Its concept of physical and mechanical puzzles embedded in the lavish--for that time--environment presented on the screen took adventure/mystery/puzzle games to a new dimension.

When I...

Pros: A Wonderful looking / sounding game that will have you playing for weeks.
Cons: Will not hold interest of those who like fast paced action / arcade style gaming.

You've Come A Long Way Baby ...

Wow! What a difference 20 years can make! Or even 15 years for that matter.

I remember the greatest thing on earth was when I got my first vic-20 computer. This was one of the earliest...

Pros: Interesting and challenging
Cons: Not a lot of action

Both Myst and Riven are unusual in the way that they don't have to be played in a certain order. I find that refreshing. Both are governed by a series of puzzles that uncover and interesting and original story line. Myst is not in the usual PC game...

Pros: Well done graphics and visually pleasing worlds
Cons: Very Boring, Depressing, Lacked any action

I received this game for Christmas, and boy am I glad that I did not have to buy it! Myst has to be one of the most boring games that I have ever played.

I am not even sure I can tell you the entire premise, because I was never able to finish...

Pros: Nice island
Cons: Sloooooooooooooooooow

Myst. Myst. Myst. It's not even spelled right. Well, what can I say bad about Myst anyway? It's such an amazing game. Exciting, addictive, with great graphics and wonderful real time...wait. It's none of those. I guess if you really enjoy...

Pros: No killing, no guns, no dying
Cons: My eyes bugged out if I played too long...as with any computer game

Myst is not a game for a fan of the shoot 'em up, kill 'em genre of computer games that we hear about all the time. It is for a person who likes a game with a challenge, and doesn't want to have to worry about dying and replaying a level. When I first...

Pros: well done puzzle fun.
Cons: confusing/frustrating at times

I asked for this for Christmas and was not disappointed. I love puzzles/mind teasers and this was full of them. I received the newer version with the updated graphics and they were indeed beautiful and well-done.

In case you are unfamiliar...

Pros: Engaging
Cons: Takes a lot of patience

I think this game is a hard one to review. Its a game you have to play by instinct more than anything else, and you have to have a good mind for it. You've fallen into this mysterious land and find its inhabitants missing. Then your job its to find...

Pros: Everything
Cons: it is a little scary

The game myst is so cool! When I was little I was really afraid of all the sounds and the talking books and since there was no one on the island I was really scared! The game Myst is about a man who is in a very strange world with many futuristic...

Pros: nonviolent, requires thought, quality graphics
Cons: may be too challenging and slow for some players

Even though Myst is an old enough game to be found on the discount racks at K-Mart, we found it to be a thoroughly enjoyable game. First of all, it is challenging. Maneuvering through the Myst world involves using logic, deductive reasoning, and careful...

Pros: you can get into the story behind the game
Cons: it isn't very fun to play

Everyone loves MYST. Everyone. When I got my computer I wanted to play video games. Everyone I know told me to get MYST. I thought, "Wow, this must be some game!" I bought it. After about ten minutes of wandering around I was bored. I pressed...

Pros: entertaining
Cons: can be tiresome at first

Being new to computer games you would think that a game like Myst would be the last thing I would play. At first it was frustrating. What was I suppose to do. I "walked " around a lot. Then it occurred to me that you need to pay attention...

Pros: Graphics, Sounds, and Puzzles outstanding
Cons: you might have to adjust the audio speed of your computer

I have been playing computer role playing adventure games since the first text-based zork games. Myst is a true breakthrough in computer gaming. It is not a shoot-em-up game, very far from it. You start the game and find yourself on a deserted island....
