Myst for Windows

Pros: Improved graphics, built-in game guide
Cons: Game guide less helpful than would be nice

I just recently bought this game(from Ross, no less). I got it for seven bucks. Compared to the thirty or so dollars it would have cost if I'd bought it a year ago.

The story line:

I won't give it away, but it involves two sons...

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

Pros: Groundbreaking adventure game

Cons: depending on your computer Myst may run slowly at times...

I honestly must say when I first saw Myst in the stores I was blown away by the still pictures of the game placed on the back of the box. They looked like something people have never seen before, a parallel world made up just for us to go into and...

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

Cons: You have to have sound on your computer.

A friend had bought this game, and then I saw it in a store. I read the cover and thought about it, put it back, and went to ask him what he thought of it. By his suggestion I bought it that very night.

I first saw the previews, and expected a...

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: well done puzzle fun.

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.
