I would like to start out by saying that this is a puzzle game! So many people have said they don't like it, that's just because it aint thier cup of tea. The only thing that solving puzzles rewards you with is more puzzles. An excelent game in and of itself, but I thought the ending fell flat on its face. Don't play this hoping to get a cool ending cuz it isnt there. You might also be interested in Pyst with John Goodman :)

An overall great game. Mysteries surround you while you go to different worlds or as their called ages. The graphics and music is awe-inspiring and captivating. great for anytime of the day and as there is no violence or gore anybody can play it. The puzzles are ez anmd challenging, ex: one puzzle took me 2 secs to figure it out and another ive been working on for a week.Very addicting once you get into it. PLAY IT!!!

The Phenomenal Myst

Myst is the first installment in the Myst series, and one of the best computer games ever- in my opinion, it's only topped by Myst II and Myst III, its sequels. Beautiful scenery, puzzling (but slightly less puzzling than Myst II and III, so it would be better for a younger person), and altogether a wonderful game to play. I would also suggest a walkthrough for this as well, but it isn't as necessary as for the nest two games in the series.

A triumph from detail to beautiful detail

There are action games. There are adventure and sci-fi games. Even those that call themselves puzzle games. But Myst is monumentally revolutionary. Anyone who plays it will instantly realize this is like nothing ever seen before. It immerses the player in an unparallelled (save for Riven) world of surreal mystique. You arrive knowing nothing, finding your only opportunity to be exploration and attempting to uncover the shrouded secrets of this unexplained world. The graphics are fantastic, the sound perfectly complimentary to the visuals, the plot (once you discover it) gripping... but the most underlying truth of Myst is its difficulty. More than 20 (I think) mind-bending true puzzles will present themselves to you during the course of the game, and anything anywhere may have an effect on something somewhere else. ~Be prepared to think outside the lines ~NEVER EVER OVERLOOK ANYTHING! ~Let the game enfold you with its sense of immersive reality. And, most of all, enjoy the experience.

Breathtaking

This game was the best. I loved this game and have played (and beaten!) it several times w/ and w/o a hint book. The movies, the storyline, and the graphics were excellent. It really set the stage for Riven.

MYST- What else is there to say!

Myst was a game that I picked up by chance. I had just bought my computer and found the game on a bargain shelf. Was I surprised? .....More than that, I was thrilled! I had never before played such an involved and MYSTical game, and probably never will again. The whole storyline was enthralling. I was spurred on by every puzzle I came upon as well as by the flawless way the creators wove the plot, characters, object manipulation and ending ALL into a wonderful joyride! Kudos to Mindscape, Cyan and Red Orb for such an enterprising and entertaining piece of work!

A thinking person's game!

It is the year 2000, I finally played this amazing game. Myst was released 7 years ago. It is timeless. I was able to solve the game without hints, so don't be too intimidated! I'm not that smart. Like many other reviewers have stated, you don't play Myst, you experience it. When you sit down to play, prepare yourself as you would before sitting down with a good book, brew a fresh cup of tea, grab your notepad, and allow yourself to be swept into the story. The glory in this game is to appreciate its beauty. It is "cyber-art". I can't wait to play "Riven" and "Myst3".

I thought Myst was one of the best games I've ever played. It's a challenge, a challange worth taking. All you have to do is to lose yourself in the game, explore, and write everything you think is important(most everything is important). If you loved Myst, try Rivin, The sequel to Myst. And f you loved Riven, try Myst 3:Exile...Take my word for it. This game is the one to own. By the way, kids under ten CAN play this game.

Intriguing

This game is the most interesting and complicated game i have ever played. You start the game in a strange world with nothing other than yourself and un-ending questions. From there you must uncover various clues from scraps of paper and other such things that lead you on to discovering new and exciting ways, but if you dont get something important all will go wrong. I consider myself a rather intelligent person--and all my scores agree-- but i suppose this game must have some secret you have to unlock before you really understand what is going on. Many people have said how much they loved it and all the different levels, but unless you find something that i havent yet, i doubt you will get very far at all. Very interesting and still fun to run around in the weird world anyways--but beware, unless you are very intent on going all the way in this game, you may get lost and be very disappointed in it....

A very good game!

It took me a while but I was able to solve Myst! I enjoyed it's unique interface and no directions just move around it and figure it out for yourself style! I would recommend this game to anyone who likes a challenge and wants to solve a mystery!
