I still never really played Myst or its sequels. Would y'all computer relic goons recommend it? There's two versions on GOG.com: one that's basically the original (Masterpiece Edition), and another called REAL MYST that has full 3D environments by the looks of it.

After my high school shop class got tired of playing Wolfenstein 3D, we moved onto Streed Rod   it was fun, and you had to do all your own engine work!

I still can't navigate anywhere in the original Myst at all, since there are no transitions between screens. When it's just a series of still images like that I can't link them together spatially in my head at all and even in basic outdoor areas I have no idea where I am as soon as I click once. I tried RealMyst and it solves that problem, but it's done in a completely different and very unappealing art style. Edit: It looks like there is now Myst, Myst: Masterpiece Edition, RealMyst, and RealMyst: Masterpiece Edition.

You were supposed to install APPLE QUICKTIME with the game so that the cutting edge screen transitions play iirc

 I loved my 32x + sega cd combo. I had Night trap and Supreme Warrior. Loved FMV games. But I played doom and virtua fighter the most. Best system ever until playstation literally blew it the gently caress away. No regrets.

First time I played myst I was like "Fuckin sweet this game is gonna be intense as gently caress." So I started walking around and there was just this note on the ground and it was all "woah this poo poo is gonna be heavy and cerebral, I better keep this I'll probably need it." "Wait what the gently caress. Why can't I shove this note into like a pocket? I can only read it and put it back where I found it? gently caress THIS" and I turned it off and never played again. My uncle ended up getting way into it but had a lot of problems getting it to work on his laptop. I seriously put like 7 minutes into that game then quit and never went back.

When was the first time you played this? When this game came out it was totally unique, to hell with retaining a huge inventory.

Dunno if it was when it first came out or not, but not being able to keep that scrap of paper blew the whole goddamn thing for me. I saw the huge notes section in the manual and thought it'd be a waste of time transcribing poo poo into it. I think I had to have been still in gradeschool but I can't remember tbh.

I know, I don't have time for that poo poo.. quote:I think I had to have been still in gradeschool but I can't remember tbh. ..but you did if you were still in gradeschool! When I played Hexen 2 I didn't bother writing down the stuff that was written around the place, and it wasn't too hard to remember what to do, e.g. I just need to find this one thing, then go back to this place and it'll tell me the next thing I need, but then there was one world where you needed to pick a constellation that matched something else and I'm glad that GameFAQs exists in this modern age of Internets so when I lose interest in a puzzle I can skip over it

Me and my friend literally lost our poo poo once we got this game to load after the proper amount of voodoo magic editing config.sys and autoexec.bat which felt like an eternity to get the drat thing to load; But once we witnessed the intro happen we knew we had found nirvana. They just don't make 'em like this anymore and that's a goddamn shame. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PktBJ6HpNJQ

In my last year of highschool my biology teacher was this odd unmarried guy in his 30s. He walks into class one day and without even saying hello just announces "Does anyone here know what to do in the planetarium in Myst?"

I played Myst right when it came out. The rail puzzle killed me. I used the Minotaur Maze solution to solve it (put your right hand on the wall and keep turning left when blocked until you get out). It took hours. I drew the whole thing out in a notebook. I was so proud. My wife played it a few years later and solved it in just a few minutes using the sounds. I'm a fool. The sounds never occurred to me.

LucasArts/LucasFilm adventure games were the best. Sadly, I never played the last couple (The Dig and Full Throttle). However, I did spend quite a bit of time on these: Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade - I tried so hard, but I never got past the catacombs Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis (?) - This one was a bit easier with a great story. Graphics were so much better than the predecessor. Maniac Mansion - I think I tried this only once and gave up at the first sign of a puzzle because it wasn't as nice as other games. Day of the Tentacle - I actually bought this one when it came out. Fun game, I think I played through it 2-3 times. I still have it. Monkey Island 1 & 2 - These were actually my introduction to adventure games of that style and they were my favorites. I don't think I beat either one without a printed walkthrough due to the many wacky puzzles. I also played a couple of Leisure Suit Larry games, but probably only due to the boob factor. The games themselves weren't super-great to a kid.
