DS Daily: Myst opportunities


With a new version of Myst on the way to a hugely popular game system, we may see a repeat of the Myst mania that swept the world upon the game's first release, killing the rest of the point-and-click adventure genre. We must admit that, even though we were eyeball-deep in PC adventure games at the time, we just didn't get Myst. It was a very pretty game, sure, and it made clever use of those crazy CD-ROM drives that people were hooking up, but it seemed very much like a game in which everything was perfectly still all the time, and nothing ever happened.

Statistically, most people here probably have a copy of the game somewhere, so we'll assume you're familiar with it. Do you think Myst was a good game in 1993, and do you think it could hold up today? Will you go in for the new content in Myst DS?

I played the 7th Guest first and thought it was a really cool game. Then I was house sitting for a friend and they had Myst installed. I didn't do anything else for three days.

For me, it was just the right mix of atmosphere and puzzles. I loved it and it is one of the few adventure games I've played that I can go back to after a few years and enjoy myself again. It may not be the greatest adventure game out there, but it'll always be one of the greats.
