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?
