Related Topics – Myst, Good Old Games, PC

Vintage video game virtual vendor Good Old Games today added to its catalogue the game that sold untold numbers of CD-ROM drives--Cyan Worlds' Myst.

On sale for $5.99 is the 1999 Masterpiece Edition of the 1993 puzzle adventure game, which bumped the pre-rendered graphics up to a then-impressive 24-bit colour as well as bringing a remastered score, improved sounds and revamped animations.

Also arriving soon in the GOG store will be Myst's sequel Riven, and the Masterpiece Edition of Myst creators Robyn and Rand Miller's first game, The Manhole.

Game was kind of monotonous, but the book series was impressive :)

Hmm I wonder if Riven is the DVD version with higher quality animations? If it is I may have to get it.

I wish there'd be some new games out there like Myst and more so Riven that engaged you enough to bust out the pen and paper to take notes in order to piece together some of the puzzles.

I still have Riven in the original box, and the strategy guide for it. I never played Myst though, so I'll have to pick this up.
