These games, although I was utterly fascinated by them, I had no clue what I was doing or where I was supposed to go. I couldnt even tell if I was progressing or what. I think I was just too young for it.

That game left my brain absolutely riven.

I realized the moment I fell into the fissure that the book would not be destroyed as I had planned. It continued falling into that starry expanse of which I had only a fleeting glimpse. I have tried to speculate where it might have landed but I must admit however such conjecture is futile. Still, the question of whose hands might someday hold my Myst book are unsettling to me. I know that my apprehensions might never be allayed, and so I close, realizing that perhaps the ending has not yet been written.

And yes, that was from memory.

Wow..... I remember playing this for MONTHS, trying to figure out what buttons, levers, everything does. I dedicated an entire paper notebook to writing down clues, hints, and failed attempts. And then the same for Riven.

Now I simply don't have the free time to dedicate to those games.... #adulting

I remember getting stuck on Myst trying to light a fire. I kept sticking the match in and it kept not working. Got very frustrated. Took way too long to realize I had never actually struck the damn thing.

this is actually me when i was a kid.

Bring me the blue pages

Best selling? Yeah right! It's a well-known fact that Myst cd-roms just kept appearing everywhere under their own volition whether you wanted them to or not. No sale or purchase ever took place.

The German word "Mist" translates to "Shit" btw

I never did figure out how to get past that damned piano puzzle. I should pick up the remastered version and have another go at it. I have such fond memories of it.

Was it good? Never played it and I'm thinking about getting it from GOG.com. In fact, just recommend me the best old games. The original Dungeon Keeper is probably my favourite game of all time.

The Myst devs made a new gamr just a few years ago, called Obduction

Looks like we need a c/sbubby

I had this for Sega Saturn. Near the end of the game one puzzle would generate a screen with a bunch of numbers and letters and crash. I thought it was part of the game until a walkthrough showed I was doing it right but something was broken on my disc. I still loved the game even though I couldn't progress passed that point.

It's easy, you get the red pages... Or the blue pages... Oh crap, there is green pages?! WTF is this white page!!!!!

Get the D'nii out of here!!

I had more fun with PYST.

The humor was way over my head and probably hasn't aged well, but it was fun at the time.

This meme, 3 days after I find out hbomberguy has a deep dive on myst, patreon only... the universe conspires against me

I played that level. And only that level. Lol

Fun Fact: "Mist" is German for "manure". And they did not change the title for the German release.

Make of that information what you want.

EDIT: I just remembered that it was called "Myst" ... still the same pronounciation.
