I remember the first time my dad talked to me about Myst he said that it had taken him a week to solve the final puzzle. He loves the game and we played through much of Riven together. The first game I completed on my own was Exile which will always have a special place in my heart. There is nothing that has whisked me away to another world in the same manner as the Cyan Worlds' worlds and seeing this talk was hugely inspiring.

My Dad ordered it and gave up on it after a few hours. I asked if I could have a look and noticed he was stuck very early on (the power puzzle - getting power to the rocket ship) neither of us had ever really played a puzzle game before. We sat there and worked it out together on paper. Fast forward 10 years and we had played games like Rama, Lighthouse, Morpheus, a number of Zorks (Grand Inquisitor was my favourite), Riven (all time favourite) and many many others. Each time we would crack out a fresh paper pad and pencil and jot down everything of note. Im 31 now and I yearn for that feeling of discovery again.

Can't wait to see if I'll finish it again as I did more than twenty years ago.

Myst is great, but what I really would like to see is a postmortem on Riven. Now THAT is a feat in game development that rarely gets talked about. The spiritual sucessor to Riven, with the same level of production and detail (maybe not adhereing strictly to the exact point n click mechanic of old) had yet to be made. I remember back in 1998 thinking "this is a revolutionary game world; I can't wait to see what this inspires in people". Unfortunately it didn't seem to change much in the industry at all. Still, we NEED a Riven postmortem with Robyn and/or Rand and Richard Vander Wende (also responsible for the look and feel of Disney's Aladdin!).

I was 8 when I started trying to design games . A year later Myst came out and trying to figure out how to do everything they did became a life long obsession. Cyan made a masterpiece with HyperCard paired with creative hacks to get color(spent a whole summer figuring that one out) and clunky 3D primitives into wonderfully immersive experience .. trying to catch up for 23 years resulted in becoming an academic pariah, starving artist, unorthodox programmer and dangerously stubborn game designer. I REGRET NOTHING!

I was a little kid when this came out, and it scared me... I called it the scary game (or something like that) but I was old enough to appreciate riven when it came out, and by that time I had seen other people play myst and even though I still thought of it as the scary game, the graphics had made it look more and more unrealistic to the point of becoming cartoony in my mind... the march or graphics progress is striking.

The frequent breaks and pauses and skips in the video are irritating, but this was a great video. I guess there were technical issues at the time. But I remember when my dad brought home Myst for the first time and we played it together every Saturday until we beat it. Loved writing down notes, putting together puzzles, remembering details from another room that helped. It was just the best. Love Myst. And Riven is the best in the series! (despite being a bit more complicated story-wise)

It's called Humility: It's what differentiates people like Robyn & Rand from say someone like... Phil Fish. Phil Fish gave up because his ego couldn't be appeased. The creators of Myst created from a mindset of Humility, not thinking too highly of themselves, and thus benefited from the lack of self-destructive inhibitors.

@@jeanlundi2141 Neither came close to the joy of an Atari ST and Dungeon Master... I'm fact, I've struggled to appreciate any games since then... Portal was amusing and Band Hero was fun, although I had to grow a whole family to have a sufficiently captive audience to call a band, but I haven't touched a console since Minecraft went on the Xbox 🤔 I wonder if the ST is still in the loft...

its hard to imagine how it was then. My theory is that the internet and how much it is used everyday has decreased creativity in people. Back then e.g. the 90s you had to use your imagination as a kid every day. Because virutal visuals werent available. For an example when you played outside kids would make up their own games or use pieces of wood for a gun and you had to imagine what type of gun or whatever it is, everything was less accessible so you had to use your creativity. Desks were made for reading or doing some creative work, not just for laptops or computers to browse the internet. Scarsity always brings out creativity.

I played Myst on the Sega Saturn port... with a little help from a guide. I do still remember various parts of the game, especially the conversations with the various characters, and certain puzzles. But I will also always remember the story of how the bubble sounds in the underwater area were actually created in a toilet with various sizes of plastic tubing... and that they were the most hateful sound effects of the game due to how hard it was to get the proper bubble sounds.

Interesting he not a gamer so much that if HyperCard didn’t exist he thought it be impossible. Love the game obviously but wish someone asked him about criticism of the technical prowess as gamers/reaction from gaming& development community. I guess the good 3D modeling shut them all down at the time
