B) Does anyone else play the Myst series? It is so awesome!!!  B)

For "so awesome", read "a Powerpoint presentation"

what is a powerpoint presentation? :???:

Powepoint's a slideshow program.

Anyway, to cut a long story short, personally I think Myst is an abomination which should be avoided like the plauge.

I'm at odds with you again, G3K. I like Myst.

I totally agree with you, Lemeri!

By the way, does anyone else know about Elasto Mania? That, Lemmings, and Myst are three games I feel that not many people would know about.

Myst is pretty good.  has some neat creatures. i dont like the music much though.

Elasto Mania? sounds like some kind of spanish game, but no.

Elasto Mania is a 2D motorcycle game. Sounds boring? It isn't! But if you expect awsome graphics, it's not that. Just great gameplay (hey, like Lemmings!) This Elasto site is crazy: http://www.moposite.com/. It has any EM thing you could want.

!!! X_X
The music from the original Myst is awesome!!!!!111

Can't speak for Riven or Exile, though. Never played 'em.

Riven's good, but I've never played Exile.

I had a go at Exile. Really enjoyed the first 'zone', but the three you access from there were too confusing and difficult for me. My brain couldn't cope witht he logic required!  :???:

Amateria may be the only age in Exile that I didn't check the walkthrough on. I love the movie at the end where you are on the rides!  B) Our moniter was too dark.  X_X

What's Myst? Is there a website on it?

Oh, probably. Try a search or something.

I like Myst and Riven, and I think the other however-many sound good as well. They're kinda frustrating, but that makes it more satisfying when you finally get a puzzle, I think.
Even if you have to take time out to play something less strategical before you have another go at it.

Strangely, I don't remember the music. I'm sure it was good, though...
I also read the first two of those books. I never read the third, because 'reliable sources' told me it was too bleak.

I read all three. The Book of D'ni was, how should I say this, interesting.

The game makes more sense when you read the books, though.

I am stuck on Channel Wood on the second floor in the place with all the tree houses. Does anyone know where the switch is?

Sometimes you just have to wander around for a while...

Book of Tiana was my favority.  B)

Yeah, that was my favorite, too.

It's been a while since I actually played Myst through. I'm just sort of stuck on Riven now.

What part are you at? Have you gone to a different age yet?

No, I haven't been to another age yet. I actually haven't played that for a while either, but I'm quite sure that we (it's not just me playing it; I take turns at it with Lemeri) just did that puzzle with all the stone head sort of things. I know, that's not a very good description.

And I don't want any hints. In case that's why you were asking. :D

at the end of the stone heads puzzle you get to go to the Moyote age. :D

besides that and riven there is only one other age.

You're suppose to not remember the music.  The music in the Myst series is generally meant to be ambient (moody and atmospheric).  It's supposed to stay mostly in the background so that you're not so much aware of the music as you are aware of the moods it creates while you're playing.  It's definitely not supposed to be catchy.  And actually, most of the time there isn't even really music being played, just various background noises corresponding to the scene/area you're at.  Again, think ambience.

And I finally bought the latest in the series (Revelation).  Just started playing with it for a day.  Definitely amazing how much the graphics has progressed since the first in the series.  I'm happy with it so far, but I have to say I no longer seem to have as much patience as I once do with these sort of games.  Good thing there's lemmings to fall back to in between.

In short, I agree. :D

yeah I bought Myst about 2 months or so ago...

I'm about 3/4 of the way through...but I haven't played it for about the last month
