Great idea, but not all it's cracked up to be...

Why does every new Myst release have bugs riddling it? I keep hoping that one of these days a new Myst program will come out bug-free. That quest goes on...

This is a wonderful idea for the original Myst game, and the graphics are gorgeous. The problem is that the game drags horribly even on a high-end machine! What's up with that? Why won't it recognize the fact that I have Direct3D, and why won't it physically let me adjust it even with the two patches available? Will they EVER get Myst right at this rate...?

Doesn't Work

Like everone else I bought RealMyst because I was intrigued with the possibility of fluid 360 degree motion. I have an Athlon600 with 128 meg ram, an aureal vortex sound card, and a Viper II 32meg AGP video card.

After speaking with Mattel Inc, it turns out that RealMYST is not compatible with the Viper II video card due to it's Savage chipset. I also need to figure out a way to return an opened game back to the store.

Missing one VERY important ingredient...

This is the single most incredible computer game in history. Far more visually impressive than anything I've ever seen, including the Zooilogical Garden™ demo and FAKK 2. The puzzles are smart, the story is interesting enough and the sound is just amazing. For someone who based his entire life around the original, it was quite a trip down memory lane, and (blushing) I would sometimes tear up just looking at it and hearing it's brilliant music. There is that one little nagging problem, though. This title, which originated on the Macintosh platform, has yet to show ANY progress in their mac "port". Cyan has forgotten it's roots in leaving this masterpeice exclusively among the un-enlightened (no offense). With the fastest towers in the world , the most powerful brand new OS in the world (OS X) and a range of graphic card options including the Voodoo5, ATi Radeon and nVidia GeForce, the mac would be the ultimate platform for the game.

But still I wait. :(

Nice game. But one pointless age

Myst was a great game, so i decided to get the 3D version. I of course beat it again, and visited the new age "Rime" but it was pointless, i spent awhile trying to figure out how to get there. "Rime" had nothing to do with the game.

Complaint instead of review

I have Myst and Riven on both Playstation and Mac. I ordered realMYST thinking that it was also for the Mac. Well, I was wrong. It is only for PC's. Myst was the one game that started it all for me on my computer. I have purchased more GAMES through Dreamcatcher and am sitting on pins and needles waiting for Myst Exile. I am heartbroken that I cannot get realMyst for my Mac and I am sure that others are too. Why were we left out? I know that I would enjoy this new version, but I guess I'll never know how great it really may be.

Very cool game!

Yes, the graphics are very good but the game is akin to an interactive painting. And so what about the graphics? Whoopee, most games have good graphics nowadays too but GOOD games have some meat to them. RealMyst does not; it's a very bland game for people who don't like real gaming experiences.

After fifty minutes of looking at the pretty pictures, I was bored to tears and began the uninstall procedure. Phooey!

Does anyone know if this game works on Windows XP?

Real Myst or Real Boring?

Captivating the audience with graphics is about all this game is worth. Waste your time figuring out trite puzzles that are about as challenging as learning to count to 10. It gets two stars for graphics. If your looking for eye candy and to throw away 30 dollars, Real Myst is for you.

Real Myst is basically the same game as Myst or Myst Masterpiece. What's diffrent about it is that you get to see everything with 360 degrees of veiwing space. A special addition is the Rime age, an age new to Myst fans!
