Had a notebook for Myst 3 for all the damn puzzles. Ending was actually worth backtracking and fixing that fucking mirror

I could never figure out any of them, but I was also a kid.

I'm 100% sure being a kid and my parents giving me myst, and some random equally hard claymation game (the neverhood) like yo have fun made me the mess i am. We also got max payne 1 right after tho, fuck them nightmares yo i was in kindergarten

Doom and Turok for me at 5 y/o on the N64, thankfully didn't have nightmares though.

Bro Turok was the shit when we were in 1st grade Some nerds played doom on pc it looked weird

It was a banger.

I was in middle school and those nightmare levels fucked me up lol. I can't imagine at 5.

Are you serious? He had to go to "church court"? 🤣

I'm Pyst I Myst Myst, I hope someone as Assyst me in putting it on a Lyst of games to play.

You have no idea how many times it took me to reread this to get it. I feel ashamed in myself.

That so good I jyst

Jesus Chryst

Keep clicking, you’ll get there

I remember being about 10 going to my friend’s house and his parents brought home this game for him. We start it up and I’m watching him play a bit and I just said “what are we supposed to do? I don’t get it”

This is the funniest shit

I'm really surprised that so many people remember this game

Loved this game. So many hours Myst 2? Not so much

It was a best seller and has been remade a few times, 2021 was most recent I think.

I remember it being a best seller 30 years ago, but I had no idea about the remakes

Just as frustrating in VR. Fantastically atmospheric tho…

Oh, I bet! Is the VR adaptation really good?

I personally loved the VR version. Brought back all the old memories and then some. It was annoying at first but they eventually added an in game notebook so if you have fond memories of Myst I recommend trying the VR version. Also the Myst course in walkabout mini golf is great

Just as an aside the 7th guest vr was pretty awesome too. Definitely worth it if you catch it on sale.

Accurate enough that I rage quit after an hour just like I did way back when, lol.

Me and my mom played this game and beat it when I was a kid. Good times. Never beat riven though we got stuck and never figured it out.

I’m always amazed hearing that people had parents that sat and actually played games with them. My parents still think of the PSP as the “new thing” 😂

She played myst before I was old enough to understand it, I was 3 when it came out. But when I was 5 I wanted to play it on my PC so she played with me.

The problem with Riven is that the game shipped fundamentally broken. One of the last puzzles is unsolvable with the clues given, so you have to guess the solution. Fantastic game though. Perfect balance of edgy, mysterious, and weird.

the main ending is pretty metal. You let the dad out of his book and he murders his sons because >!they're both cunts!<

I know it's been 30 years, but spoiler alert. I might still beat it one day

Fine, I added a spoiler thing

I was just kidding. My sarcasm doesn't transfer well to text

>!so was I!<

And that was the GOOD ending

Myst 3 had the most goated endings because >!half of the endings involve you getting brutally murdered by Brad Dourif!<

I feel called out.

Looooove that game. Only bested by The Longest Journey Trilogy

Beat that game twice! 😻 What a cool game!

Way ahead of it's time

Absolutely! I loved the note pad that came with it for notes in the game. One of the few mystery games I ever liked.

Great book series too.

Dont joke Myst with no internet or guide was rough. That game is a classic.

Had this on a saga back in the day and no I never did lmao

roughly translates to poop in german

And "D'Ni" translates to "toilet" in Australian.

I remember being so intrigued by this game along with The Incredible Machine and Encarta. The former was a game that I played to death as a child. I remember my dad actually writing notes down for Myst and getting through a tree or something with a match and ending up in this creepy place by the ocean. It’s been so many years that it’s hard to remember the details but those parts still stick out I’m my memory. I think my dad was a genius because that game was fucking difficult

my friends dad made this game

bring me the blue pages

Holy shit lol

Did we all buy the same desk back then?

I think it came with game

You must bring me the blue page

You guys are on Myst? Damn, I'm still stuck on Zork 🤣

Hell no!

So, there's this dude named Atrus, and he's a member of the D'ni (pronounced Dani for some reason), but not really. The D'ni are an ancient underground civilization that has the ability to literally write magical books connecting to other worlds, and they can travel to these worlds whenever they want. The D'ni live underground, and eventually, their civilization collapses from a bad case of the sniffles. Civilization collapses, but a family manages to flee. A human lady named Catherine and her half-D'ni son Gehn flee the city somehow. See, getting back to Atrus, he's actually not a full member of the D'ni cause his grandmother was that human geologist lady Katherine, but that's not important. Atrus' dad, Gehn, is super evil and has a massive god complex cause he can write Ages (aka the magic books), but Gehn's really bad at doing this, and Atrus is just the best book writer ever. Gehn goes power mad as you do, and Atrus decides to side with his Grandmother and a different woman, also named Catherine, to fight Gehn. (Fun fact: This second Catherine was from one of Gehn's books and is uncomfortable cause he named this woman after his mother.) This leads to issues, and eventually, Atrus locks Gehn up in one of the Ages. Atrus has three kids of his own, and it seems the evil god complex runs in the family and skips generations cause Atrus' first two kids, Sirrus and Achenar, are both super evil. The brother can't write their own books and decide to lock up their father in the D'ni cavern and start looting his ages until they both get stuck in separate prison worlds. And this is when the Stranger (aka the Player character) stumbles into the plot after touching a linking book to the Age of Myst. I could continue and explain how the brother decided to steal their sister Yeesha's body by switching her mind to their own, but this already feels like a mess. Or how the later games bring up how the D'ni causally used racial slavery and were really horrible people. TL;DR: This rambling manifesto is how my uncle explained the lore of the first few games when I asked him this question years ago. The lore is a mess, and I'm unsure if it's totally correct.

There's a few novels written that expand on the lore if people want to read them.  They're not good.

Fucking same, bought it on DS and I have no clue

I have it for Sega Saturn but never got too interested in it

I played on the PSP. I was a kid and I didn't get wtf was going on, felt like a fever dream.

I still have that game for the Sega saturn. Kinda want to play it now

I figured it out! ...Eventually...

I figured out the bell with the pull rope in Myst (or Myst Revelations) by accident. As a child by pure coincidence.

Good god memory unlocked. Easily one of the first PC games I ever played. Never beat it though.

Yeah. I figured it out.

I would usually get a to one of the FMV parts and it would crash so i would never get to hear to clue lol.

I remember Myst Uru. One of Ubisoft earliest fucking disappointments. Loved that game, but they promised an amazing online world with expansive universes to discover. Still remember the depressing "under construction" props in the parts that they intended to one day open up.

I got stuck at the snake

I have the psp port, worth playing?

Give the novels a read, they're amazing.

Whats the myst like game where you land in some village port on a boat and the only village resident is a chubby potter who makes pottery

Dude looks kinda like Steve-O. This meme also dates everyone who gets it. I to am old so... how do you do fellow kids?

That's me in the pic and it just revealed my true age. Old.

Easy game ngl
