Myst for Windows: Picture book game

Thu, 11 Oct 2001 01:56:21 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author ashi1 - Myst is a game that appeals to a very limited audience. That's why it's a bit ironic that it also happens to be the best-selling PC game of all times with over 5 million copies sold world-wide. People usually tend to either love or hate the game. Myst...

Myst for Windows: Myst-- The Masterpiece Edition

Tue, 1 May 2001 19:17:02 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author tinasamuels - First off, even though I found this game boring to a fault, let me say that your mileage may vary. I am very set into a certain genre that I like in games. If its more Diablo or Sim based I am all for it no matter how mindnumbing, or if its in a format...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author duker8888 - Myst is a classic that will be hard to ever get tired of or replace

with a new favorite. The game is not easy or ordinary. THE GRAPHICS

place. The music is haunting and...

Myst for Windows: There is no "Myst" clouding our view on this game!!

Tue, 1 Aug 2000 15:41:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author t235693pi - I have just recently bought myself a copy of one of the best selling games of all time, Myst. I could not believe the amazing graphics and gameplay that came along with the 20.00 dollar game that I bought. These graphics are cutting edge and reveal a...

Myst for Windows: In Response To Skadar's Opinion (also talks about Myst)

Tue, 1 Aug 2000 10:46:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Teach2 - I honestly must say when I first saw Myst in the stores I was blown away by the still pictures of the game placed on the back of the box. They looked like something people have never seen before, a parallel world made up just for us to go into and...

Myst for Windows: Myst-I-Fied

Sun, 23 Jul 2000 18:21:56 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author excalibur21 - A great view by the ocean jumps out at you but you are not sure what to do. So, you click just ahead of you to reach a meaningless little switch that, by some stretch of your imagination, opens or closes something somewhere else. What am I doing...

Myst for Windows: The Fog has Lifted

Wed, 21 Jun 2000 10:07:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lperryii - One of the few games that come along WAY before its time. This game has an excellent storyline, as well as a graphical interface that makes it one of the best games to play. I thoroughly enjoyed this game. It is the only game where I was able to...

Myst for Windows: Bleah

Mon, 5 Jun 2000 14:47:51 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author stoats - After great hype and pressure from in-laws, I condescended to buy/load/play Myst. I've played since the original 'Adventure' in 1971, and I find Myst boring.

On the plus side, the puzzles are pretty good, though too easily do-able, and the graphics...

Sat, 3 Jun 2000 16:36:23 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author sparke61 - I bought Myst on the advice of a friend, not knowing anything about how to play the game. I used to be a fan of action/adventure games, but as I've gotten older I've discovered puzzle-type video games and enjoy the mental challenge. Well, Myst brought...

Myst for Windows: Myst hurts head, wastes time

Sun, 28 May 2000 12:57:57 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author SmrtS - I heard a lot about Myst, how this fantasy game had such great graphics and was "so cool". Being a naturally curious person, I bought it. I was excited, and planned an entire Sunday afternoon to play it. I was soon to be disappointed.

Myst for Windows: Is it reality, or is it the world of Myst?

Sun, 30 Apr 2000 02:50:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author BlackViper - What can be said about Myst that hasn't been said by everyone who has played it? Myst just totally redefined the adventure genre of games. It is so realistic... sometimes you feel as if you aren't playing the game, but as if you are in the game.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Timberfro - Three years ago, My brother-in-law got this game for his birthday. We sat down at the computer together and played for an hour...getting virtually nowhere. But, I definitely saw a game that I could potentially enjoy playing for a long period of time...

Myst for Windows: A different drummer.

Mon, 17 Apr 2000 13:34:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author MsXenovia - I do not expect everyone to love this game. For those who need the action, the blood and guts, the power trip of world domination, "Myst" will be disappointing. However, for those of us who march to a different drummer, those of us who find our...

Myst for Windows: I was baffled

Wed, 12 Apr 2000 01:46:35 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author serena21 - I didn't play this on my PC, but I don't think that it is really that different from the Sega Saturn version that I did play. My problem is that it was a rental. I rented it and had 3 days to play the game and couldn't save anything, because I didn't...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Linkster - Ok here folks,

Now I've heard people say, the game sucked, it only took me three hours, and do you want to know what I say to that?

BULL!!!

I am sorry, but there is NO WAY that anyone could finish a game...

Thu, 6 Apr 2000 18:32:43 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author emily002 - I bought Myst a couple years ago for my PC and soon became extremely irritated and stopped playing entirely. Even on a computer far beyond the specifications of the recommended system, Myst encountered so many glitches as to make it impossible to...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author tburka -

In a nutshell:

MYST set a new standard for graphics and sound in an adventure game. Each vista is spectacular, and the accompnaying sounds and music draw you into the world of Myst. The use of graphics to more fully involve...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author shimmer122 - First time I played Myst was at a friend's house. We didn't get very far in the game, but it intrigued me and I just HAD to figure it out. This game is full of mind puzzles, so for those of you who love brain teasers...this game is for you! It took me...

Myst for Windows: Still a Classic

Thu, 23 Mar 2000 05:00:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Mnemone - There's a reason game reviews still praise new games as "the next Myst" or "Myst-like." It's because nothing has ever really surpassed that strange magic, not even the sequel, Riven. It's hard to realize how old this game is, and...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Shader - Myst. Myst. Myst. It's not even spelled right. Well, what can I say bad about Myst anyway? It's such an amazing game. Exciting, addictive, with great graphics and wonderful real time...wait. It's none of those. I guess if you really enjoy...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author JadeMurphy - This game SUCKS. There's no other way to describe it! The graphics are pretty good, but the game story itself is just boring! Who the heck cares about these two brothers and their stupid books?

The only reason I played this game at all was...
