Never played a Myst game, and i've had access to powerful pcs for almost a decade. Should i be beaten and forced to buy this port?

Pretty much, yeah, although at the moment, you can pick up realMYST (the adorementioned remake) for free via the GameTap client.

Too bad Gametap is unavailable in my location (cursed USA-based, not-yet-globalized companies). Still considering getting the remake, I think it's a bargin-priced product now.

Well i'll look into it. I enjoy myself a psuedo 3d adventure presented in entire 2d preloaded screens. I mean, buried in time 2 was a very memorable gaming experience for me and i enjoy those type of puzzling adventures, thanks.

Myst is like playing a game and constantly wondering if the designers love you, or hate you.

I bought this game for the PSP and WOW. I fell asleep. It's too slow for me.

Most non-action adventure games are generally slow-paced and lacking action. (the rest are not catagorized correctly) You should really know the game you're getting before actually getting it.

I did. I played this back in the day on like a year after it came out on PC. I forgot what grade I was in. I thought it would be cool to play it again, but I thought wrong. The slowest game I can take now-a-days are the Civilization series.

I rather drink Pepsi. ...jk

I played the original Myst shortly after it came out and loved it. I then played Riven, loved it too. Played Myst 3, that was awesome as well. But this port is crap (the European version, at least) with bad sound, terribly low quality visuals, glitchy gameplay, and bad controls. At some points you are asked to hit a button less than five pixels in size. The zoom feature does nothing usefull, and only makes a blurry mess of what you see on the bottom screen visible on the top screen. PLEASE do not buy this unless you are the die-hardest of Myst fans.

WATCH OUT: A german Online-Magazine already tested the game, and encountered several game-breaking bugs. The game freezes, has graphic bugs or tunr into a slideshow. For the first time in the magazine's history, they gave a 1/100 score!!! They may fix alot for the us-release, but just dont buy carelessly!

But the game IS a slideshow!

I loved Myst but I still probably wont get this version. Now, a Wii version is a different story...

I resent that last sentence to no end. Myst is fun. A different kind of fun but fun nonetheless. Of course if you have ADD don't play it...

I played the UK version and it's like settlers. You can't take a PC like interface and shrink it down into a DS screen. My GF is a diehard Myst fan and she played it and was disgusted.

It's true from all I've read that this is the worst port imaginable, down to every detail of interface, but it's not true that it cannot be done correctly - try out SCUMM for the DS and play through some classic point and click games; the interface is perfect, with one zoomed-in screen smoothly following the stylus, etc. If only the people behind all the commercial ports on the market were half as attentive to detail as the homebrewers. sigh.

Finally! This game will kick the pants off of the other DS games in its genre (Trace Memory, Hotel Dusk).
