Manny Granillo, executive producer of the DS Myst remake, spoke to 4cr reader Spence about the changes being made to the classic adventure. We're still shocked that there are changes and additions being made. Not what we expected from a Myst port.They're taking advantage of the interface by adding a note pad and a camera tool, to allow players to remember clues. Granillo also agreed with (but avoided directly discussing) the utility of turning the DS sideways to read the materials in the library.
With these refinements and the new Age, Myst on the DS may turn out to be the definitive version. For our money, though, the best thing about a portable Myst is that it leaves your TV and computer unoccupied, so you can play a game while it's on.

Maybe I'm just not with it tonight, but what does this sentence even mean? Is it a grammatical error or something, or am I just not getting the joke (if there is one)
I for one am very excited about the Myst port! There's a reason this game has been ported to everything under the sun. No villians, no stages or worlds, no time limit, pretty scenery, and mind puzzles that force you to use your brain - not spend the whole day sniping and fragging and macho-ing and such.
Anyway, fill me in on the last sentence, please. I love the blog!

Michael: typo. "the best thing about a portable Myst is that IT leaves your TV and computer unoccupied, so you can play a game while it's on."

Now if only they would do this with Zork: Grand Inquisitor. That would be fantastic :D.

I am so happy about this port, my computer can only run this game slowly so it will be nice to have something fast enough. And if you have never played this game it will keep busy for a long time it is extremely challenging! Can't wait for it!

Ah, so they've added a notepad feautre (from Hotel Dusk) and a Camera feature (from Another Code: 2 Memories/Trace Memory). Oh yes, I can SO get on board with that. Bring on Myst DS! =D

Oh and, fgs guys... It was kinda alright pointing out gramatical and spelling mistakes once and a while, but doing it EVERY SINGLE BLOG POST, isn't cool... It's annoying. Stop it.
