Oh hey, it's that game that collected dust on actual boomer's shelves because they hated games but bought it to justify spending hundreds on that shiny new cdrom drive
It came free with a printer for me. Honestly, everyone seemed to have this game yet I don't recall a single person actually paying for it. No-one completed it or really got very far into it either. I actually kind of enjoyed it tbh
I absolutely loved it. It and Riven ruined adventure games for me. It felt like an actual change from text adventures or graphical adventures, jettisoning the flaws along the way.

I always wanted to try it but felt I'd enjoy it more walking around than point 'n click. Did get to play a version of it later and liked it, though I never finished it. That underground maze is just insanity.

>"Finally, an adventure game with cause-and-effect in the puzzles."
It's ironic you would describe that, since only a Low IQ person who's never played adventure games would describe an intelligent person as saying that.
I remember playing it as a kid and getting stuck on some puzzle. Looked up a walkthrough and it said "the lever is a red herring", being a dumb kid I was looking for a red fish but couldn't find it anywhere.
Am I the only one that was legitimately expecting to run into someone or something at some point in the game? I thought that one place that had like a village in the trees was going too have some Ewok type things walking around.
You obviously do or you wouldn’t reply. ca t think of anything else to say to be a piece of shit human. I was just upset about getting Myst spoiled and then you all just start attacking me like hyenas attacking a baby elephant.

That's a cope that I've seen said too many times. I replied to make fun of you. You're a joke is what I'm saying. If I actually cared what you thought I'd be offended instead of laughing at you RN.
No normally functioning adult spazzes out because video game plot was spoiled for them. Or anything for that matter.

I've just never heard it before. Thought it was some new lingo. Hey I think they made a newer version of Myst AND Riven where there's a bunch of new stuff; maybe check those out? I'll admit Riven was too difficult for me when I tried to play it back in the 90s. I guess that makes me a low IQ pudge gargling frickhead eh? In all seriousness, I do recall someone I met at work telling me they were good.

It wasn't even a fricking spoiler, dude just said that it's weird there's no other characters in the game, it was clear to me 5 minutes in that that would be the case.
The over-whelming majority of people on /vr/ are developmentally stunted manchildren still clinging to children's toys, and children's behavior, only interested in retro games to play what they played as children, instead of being interested in the history, development, origins, or just plain fun of older games.
Thus, whenever you challenge them or even faintly give the aura of mockery, they flip the switch into defensive-mode, and attack using said developmentally-stunted child-like behavior.
Mix all of that together with the fact you're on an anonymous image-board, Ganker of all places, and what do you expect?

I'm not even trying to mock you here, but good lord man, grow some thicker skin. getting banned on Ganker is next to impossible and even if you do its (99/100 times) temporary and easily evaded if not.
that said, what emulator are you using? the last N64 emulator I dicked around with was Project64 (watch some homosexual reeee at me for that) and it worked well enough for me. are you mapping the buttons out correctly? how's it not working?

The one that replied to me with a dildo attitude because I was annoyed that a game got spoiled for me. Why do you even give a shit?
I mainly remember it being a VERY popular game at the library. I would often stop by for Nintendo Power and Animorphs and kids would usually be playing it.
One time I walked in and started watching some kids playing just as they were getting to the end of the game. Nobody ever got that far into the game, so it was my first time seeing people play it who actually seemed to know what they were doing. I assume they'd been sitting there chipping away at it for hours. They finally found the last blue page, put it in the book and...
Played it and Return to Zork with my brother, I think we also got them in some free bundle. I never played many other "FMV" (I think they were 99% still images at that point) games so they weren't habit forming freebies, but they had appeal.
I got into like the third world/level thing where there were wooden planks across some swamp type area with valves and realized I didn't give a shit anymore and gave up
Playing through Riven with a notepad and taking down info and designs was honestly the best experience I ever had with games.
That the entire game is basically just gearing you up to solve one puzzle is mind blowing.
Myst and Myst masterpiece are pretty good
realMyst (2000) is pretty neat, but changes aesthetic a bit
realMyst Masterpiece is ok, but the changes to aesthetic are very questionable
2021 remake of Myst is most current, has better aesthetic, but a lot of the design was changed because VR
99% of the difficulty of myst isn't the puzzles but figuring out where the frick you are, shit is, and what it had any affect on. Random sound switch... good luck finding out what the frick that does and the weird ass angles for moving around.
This is demonstrably true by simply playing the real time versions where you know where you are and noise/light/motion etc... are relative to where you are and the puzzles are dirt easy themselves.
It's basically just convoluted as frick not a good puzzle game.
Boring and overrated
More like, we don't have any software developers. How far can we push hypercard?
Oh hey, it's that game that collected dust on actual boomer's shelves because they hated games but bought it to justify spending hundreds on that shiny new cdrom drive
Myst was often bundled with new CD-ROM drives.
It came free with a printer for me. Honestly, everyone seemed to have this game yet I don't recall a single person actually paying for it. No-one completed it or really got very far into it either. I actually kind of enjoyed it tbh
I absolutely loved it. It and Riven ruined adventure games for me. It felt like an actual change from text adventures or graphical adventures, jettisoning the flaws along the way.

Except boomers didn't play it, mostly millenials did. That's a 30+ year difference. I know words aren't your best subject though
People played it because it looked great and was one of the firsts to look that nice on a pc
I know zero mellenials who played myst or riven. It was definitely a game I saw on boomer shelf’s.
It was absolutely boomers playing Myst. Were you even alive in the 90's?
Excellent point. I was a kid then and I remember the school librarians talking about Myst and recommending it to the kids.
I think I prefer the original, but realMyst has some additional content. The 2021 remake of Myst is the best of them all.
Shit got ported to every thing with a CPU
Myst is the perfect game for the midwit bell curve meme.
>Low IQ: "Haha, pretty!"
>Mid IQ: "Slow, boring, not jokes like Lucasarts (which I played with a walkthrough)"
>High IQ: "Finally, an adventure game with cause-and-effect in the puzzles."
This was exaggerated even more with Riven.
>"Finally, an adventure game with cause-and-effect in the puzzles."
It's ironic you would describe that, since only a Low IQ person who's never played adventure games would describe an intelligent person as saying that.
But I'm high IQ and I say th... wait a minute
Never played Zork I take it? Or any other Adventure game made before 1993?
I got stuck for two hours, will try again
Is this game still worth playing if you kind of dig point and clicks?
Absolutely, I did my first playthrough this year.
Downloaded the masterpiece edition. Don't get the Unity remake, its soulless.
>sells millions
>everyone filtered by the island
>still pleased because "lol, nice looking island"
Most successful pleb filter ever.
I remember playing it as a kid and getting stuck on some puzzle. Looked up a walkthrough and it said "the lever is a red herring", being a dumb kid I was looking for a red fish but couldn't find it anywhere.
Kek. I miss being a dumbass kid. Now I’m a dumbass adult.
Am I the only one that was legitimately expecting to run into someone or something at some point in the game? I thought that one place that had like a village in the trees was going too have some Ewok type things walking around.
thanks for spoiling it for me asshat

Yeah and like 5 people actually played it. Gangly mayonnaise homosexual.

Is this a bit or is the tourism really that bad this year?
It's pretty bad with the tourist homosexuals spoiling shit for everyone.
Riven is one of the best games ever made.
???
Playing through Riven with a notepad and taking down info and designs was honestly the best experience I ever had with games.
That the entire game is basically just gearing you up to solve one puzzle is mind blowing.
The game exists entirely on communicative design. It's like one big puzzle that you slowly unravel through exploration.
Until you realize your dad is trapped in the book and it's over.
What is the most beautiful Myst game?
I stopped reading the thread because it went to hell, but I love Myst. It's a wonderful series for giving the sense of exploring a dead civilization.
watch the run button lps. believe it or not they made watching other people play a point and click game comfy and entertaining
Fricking zoomers i swear.
nevermind, the lead guy just trooned the frick out and looks like a murderer with the fashion sense of an 8 year old girl because it isn't a fetish
Funny how your image can also be used to describe Hexen 1
