beautiful game as is Riven but hard to play without guide books

I remember being incredibly frustrated with it, but I was pretty young when it came out.

I remember Riven came with like a notebook to write stuff down.

I beat Myst: Masterpiece Edition. Only had to use the hint system one time for that damn maze.

But Riven?

Stuck at the very beginning. Three times, I tried to get anywhere in that game. No Masterpiece Edition exists for it, and I can't live with just cheating. I'm just going to have to try the fuck again.

wow I am impressed! I got some of the Myst puzzles but not all of them. I gave up!

I didn't even understand the game without guide books. Didn't seem much point to play after reading the step by step guide with pictures of in game play .

Didn't help the computer was only a 200 mhz with a 4x cd drive. Goddaaaaam riven was so slow

agreed. Good times though; that 4x cdrom drive was blazing fast at the time! The 7th guest games were almost as hard- give me Maniac Mansion any day!

Sadly, when I had it, 16x was a thing and CDR burners were becoming a thing, lol.

7th guest was much harder, but it declared puzzles more clearly. 11th hour was.... not up my alley either, lol

This is what VR was meant for.

Myst as a first-person shooter. /s

Fucking hell, man.

First, there was Myst: Masterpiece Edition. Played it, beat it, loved it.

Then, they tried to jew me into purchasing realMyst: Masterpiece Edition in 3D, which I did, even though walking around the environment was totally bullshit and pointless, the game was better when you would just clicking from frame to frame, so you could actually solve the puzzles like God intended.

During this time they ported the game to every device known to mankind, including, and I'm not even joking about this, the Xbox, PocketPC, Android, iOS, and even the Atari Jaguar CD.

You guys, Quake HD was good enough. Just STAHP.

Spoiler this new version is lazy as shit and makes heavy use of generic asset packs for much of its scenery. It's also all kinds of buggy, controls very poorly, and runs like ass.

It's the Unreal engine so running like ass is the standard

That was the gayest shit I've ever put into the CD tray, back in the day. Right into the trash it goes.
