Myst for Windows

Pros: lets you use your imagination
Cons: takes WAY too much time

We were given the game Myst as a gift. Now, I am not much into fantasy games in the first place, but this one had my curiosity because of the ratings it has been given. After attempting to play this game several times, I have become frustrated and have...

Pros: Fantastic graphics,no violence,makes you use brains instead of brawn
Cons: None I can see

Myst has got to be one of the greatest PC games I have ever played.It has a storyline, excersises decision making skills to the limits, and the visual graphics are fantastic.I originally got this for my older boys, 8 and 7, mainly because there isn't...

Pros: Rich detail, beautiful graphics, unique puzzles
Cons: Some people may become frustrated with the difficulty

Myst was way ahead of its time with its stunning graphics, mind boggling puzzles, and seemingly endless hours of addictive exploration and adventure. It took me months to finally finish it, and then I had to play it all over again, just to explore the...

Pros: Subtle, challenging, engrossing. Requires actual thought.
Cons: A bit dated.

Even if it's all pre-rendered slideshow graphics, and even if it's not "the game that redefined the action genre," this game did redefine gaming.

It's not by any stretch of even the most fevered imagination an action game. It's kind...

Pros: Pretty pictures, puzzles
Cons: unclear, rather boring

When I first saw Myst I thought WOW! That looks neat! But when I went to play it - it suddenly wasn't nearly as neat. To start with, I thought the graphics were great until I realized that they were just pictures, and weren't interactive as I had...

Pros: Perfection
Cons: Some puzzles were a bit pointless

I have noticed one major problem with this game. Sadly, it is not possible to play it. You must live it. Somehow, the creators of the game have found a way to get you truly absorbed into the game itself. The land of Myst, with its trials of the mind,...

Pros: artwork, sound
Cons: lack of characters

Why is Myst the biggest selling computer game of all time? Rumor has it that nursing homes and mental hospitals are using the game to sedate patients, saving them the cost of sedatives.
The game's plot is the big thing so I won't reveal anything...

Pros: Well thought out game, good graphics
Cons: I heard that everytime you play the game things change. Don't know yet though, haven't braved it a second time. : )

Ok here folks,

Now I've heard people say, the game sucked, it only took me three hours, and do you want to know what I say to that?

BULL!!!

I am sorry, but there is NO WAY that anyone could finish a game...

Pros: Wonderful game, Interesting, Beautiful art work
Cons: Very lonely, not much interaction with game characters

The world of Myst is a facinating place full of mystery and intrigue. The art it beautifully done and the story is well written out. Everywhere you turn there is something to be found out.

In this game you are a traveler that has fallen into...

Pros: challenging, mystical
Cons: can't get enough

I am a middle-aged homemaker who can be addicted to games, just about any kind. I really love adventure games & challenging puzzles. I had heard about Myst only from ads & was intrigued by the picture on the cover of the game box. So, for...

Pros: wonderful graphics, great storyline
Cons: old, very difficult

Even though it came out years ago, and its technology is now old news, Myst still makes headlines and is by far the best selling computer game. It's no wonder. Even if the game came out today, it would still be somewhat popular. All the graphics, except...

Pros: The game that spawned an entire genre
Cons: Ending doesn't offer any real rewards.

There's a reason game reviews still praise new games as "the next Myst" or "Myst-like." It's because nothing has ever really surpassed that strange magic, not even the sequel, Riven. It's hard to realize how old this game is, and...

Pros: One of the best adventure games out there, and one of the most realistic. Excellent storyline.
Cons: Once you've played it once, there's not much more left.

What can be said about Myst that hasn't been said by everyone who has played it? Myst just totally redefined the adventure genre of games. It is so realistic... sometimes you feel as if you aren't playing the game, but as if you are in the game.
...

Pros: Graphics
Cons: Everything Else

This game SUCKS. There's no other way to describe it! The graphics are pretty good, but the game story itself is just boring! Who the heck cares about these two brothers and their stupid books?

The only reason I played this game at all was...

Pros: great sound and graphics
Cons: hard game.takes lots of time

this game is really weird but yet like your in a dream world.you travel around this island where there are many mind boggling puzzles that you have to figure out.to be quite honest,I don't see how you could finish this game without using a cheat...
