MystNotes
A while back some of you may know that I picked up the Myst 10th Anniversary DVD edition. Mainly I got it to stick it to the man (after the anouncement of the PSP port of Myst). Yea, man, take it like that!
This is a picture of the notes that I took for the game. None are flat out spoilers (if you can even read my handwriting), so I thought that people familiar with the game might find these notes interesting/funny. The only reason I was interested in sharing my notes is because I don’t even remember the last time it occured to me to take notes for a game.
Myst was fantastic. I had never played Myst or any sequel or any Myst clone (not to completion anyways). I played most of it yesterday for about 10 hours straight and finished it off just a little bit ago. I ended up putting my headphones on and covering my head with a blanket giving myself tunnel vision of sorts. Headphones should be a system requirement for these games.
I got this game because of Ajutla (ok, and Dess) and I can only imagine how Riven is going to be. Out of my excitement for it all (and to support Cyan) I purchased the remainder of the games not included in the trilogy and had them shipped to my new house (so this means that I will have a very strong memory tied to myst no matter what the games play like, and it was on accident too. It will be the first game to ship to my house). Then I watched the interview with Rand included on this trilogy… he talks as though he had very little, to no involvement with the third game? It seems like Uru (which looks really cool, but I don’t know if I got the right one. I got the “Complete Chronicles” version) has a lot of Rand involved in it and Ubisoft developed III and IV while he was doing that.
Anyways, I guess my point is that I had always held this impression that Myst was a dumb game that many people were tricked into enjoying it. These games always looked boring and stupid, but I guess I was wrong. I am going to be envious of people who play Myst for their first time in the future (cough*psp*cough).
I just hope all these games work with my laptop… I mean Morrowind does, so they should, right?
