Myst + iPhone = iMyst, cue iGag over iNaming iScheme

Alright first level,ops death battery.

I could never get into Myst, it bored the SHIT outta me.

iPuke.

Who gives a crap about Myst? Sure, it was the first of it's kind, but there's a billion better games now.

Hey, I thought 3 and 4 were pretty good actually. No where near the difficulty of Riven, but they still had that great cinematic quality.

Seeing as Myst and Riven were basically really complex hypercard stacks and 3 and 4 were QTVR's why couldn't the whole series be ported?

Oh man this is pretty awesome.

Honestly, if you thought Myst and Riven were boring, bad, or whatever, you seriously need to go back and recheck your definition of a good game, because games aren't made anymore like they used to make games back then. Myst and Riven trump ANYTHING released nowadays, and are considered two of the best games of all time.

I really liked Myst III, am I the only one? It was good especially considering it wasn't even from the same developer.

As for Myst IV, I never finished it, but the cinematic quality was the best out of any of them. Myst V looks to fake and plays like crap. Myst Uru feels too empty and puzzleless (and pointless).

But yeah there's my analysis of the Myst series. Of course I and II were excellent.

Oh yeah, and don't underestimate hypercard, it could do alot of stuff while being relatively simple.

I'll laugh if it uses the DS graphics.

iname, ename, xname

they all suck

Myst? We had to play Maabus, because this trailer and it's awesome music were just too awesome. Bumdiggydiggydiggybomediggybum.

Actually, we had been constantly watching the trailer for about 2 years (I think it was on our Microprose "Greatest Shareware of 1995" disc), and luckilly enough we found it at Babages one day while carousing import SEGA Saturn titles. iMaabus, make it happen! This terrible game shall not be forgotten!

Yay... pixel hunting with big, fat fingers.

Come on Joystiq Pyst was awesome and you know it. John Goodman deserves every amount of respect from us gamers. Have you ever seen The Big Lebowski? I know that has nothing to do with anything but regardless.... I love that movie.

If you're pixel hunting in Myst, Riven, Myst III: Exile, or Myst V: End of Ages, you're doing it wrong.

If you're pixel hunting in Myst IV: Revelation... yeah. That game was a pain in the ass like that. Definitely my least favorite.

But I'll stand by that the other four Myst games, as well as it's online game (in both of it's incarnations, and soon to be third...) have been amazing. Myst was simple, but effective... and Riven took Myst and extrapolated it to the nth degree.

Exile was more involved in the overall story than Myst was, but nowhere near the quality of Riven. And Revelation... well, let's just say I've gone through all of the games multiple times, except for that one. I can't bring myself to even look at Revelation again.

End of Ages is a tricky beast. It's a great game with some very clever puzzles, but it's meant to be a conclusion to the story that was started in the original run of Uru Live rather than a final Myst game. So people going directly from IV to V will be very much confused as to what's going on.

Regardless, I absolutely love the first game, and will certainly be picking it up on my iPod Touch. And since Cyan is doing the work, instead of whoever was to blame for the shoddy DS and PSP versions, I trust that it'll play every bit as well as it should.

iMyst is when I have a bladder infection.

but I loved Myst III too :( that marble island puzzle was my single favorite myst puzzle of all time. Overall it maybe wasn't on par with Myst and Riven, but it was still a great game. And the acting was amazing too!! They had Wormtail from LOTR!

Myst could be really good on the iPhone- if it has a good pause / resume feature I can imagine playing this between bus stops. I don't actually remember completing Myst (could I have really played that on a Saturn?) but Riven required a notebook.

btw, did Pyst ever exist? I remember a feature on 'Games Master' back in the day, thought it was a joke.

Oh! C'mon! It's! Not! All! That! Bad!

P.S. Yahoo! Pun! Intended!

Why you dissin Myst3?? I LOVED that game! Never played 4,5,6 etc... but I thought Myst3 was excellent and very much on par with the first 2 (with much better acting).

The original Myst was an insult the art of gamemaking. It was a slideshow written over the weekend. Pretty pictures and no substance, sold to many many wankers. It is fitting for this title to be ported to the iPhone.
