 Black screen December 16, 2007

This is a fantastic game, a real classic not to be missed, IF you can get it to run.I bought this game a few years ago and it ran perfectly on my XP machine then possessed, but loads and runs with the sound only and a black screen on my present XP machine which replaced the former.All attempts to get it to run by implementing advice given on forums have failed, it seems it is a common problem. I have had to resort to buying the original Myst (not Masterpiece edition)also available on Amazon to continue playing this game.The game needs to be run on Windows 95 or 98 I know, but something else needs to be done in my case and I don,t know what.

Coz everything he lists as bad with this game is what makes it great!
Ground breaking graphics and sound for its day, with well constructed puzzles that will have you staring at your screen for hours.
Note that sound is a must for this, plus it helps not being tone deaf too!

It is a bit clunky and dated now and navigating about (especially in the tree age) is a chore but it is very cheap and a good introduction to the idea of non violent gaming. ##DO NOT## buy it if you are deaf. Many of the puzzles rely solely on hearing and will be impossible.
If you can get it then play the "Real Myst" version which is easier to navigate about in and is more involving.

No mmatter what other people say, faithful players of MYST must still believe that MYST is a really good game. The story and landscapes captivate any player, even those who are least pleased by the twists and turns provided through the game. However, I recommend this game only to those who have the patience to play it. Those who scorn patience and believe that everything must be hurried may find trouble in any place and the story starts rather strangely with no explications as to the story. All through it you may feel that you are being manipulated, but just remember that the final choice is up to you...

some people have criticised this game for being little more than an interactive slideshow. Well, to a certain extent they are right, but when you look past that you find tourself playing something quite extraordinary. This game set a new standard in PC gaming, and after playing it is easy to see why. The soundtrack is eerie; perfect for the setting, whilst the graphics are smoother and crisper than ever before.
The puzzles are the same; challenging, but you are rewarded with an immense feeling of self-satisfaction when you complete them - Bragging right are yours when you finish this game.
The term 'Masterpiece edition' is most definitely appropriate.
