Rating: Summary: Captivating Time Waster Review: If you have the time to immerse yourself in a 40-60 hour puzzle, these are the games for you. Great graphics, wonderful puzzles. Not for the dim-witted....
Rating: Summary: Not for Windows 2000/XP Review: Like a complete nincompoop, I bought this thing without visiting UBI Soft's website first. DO NOT try to run Myst Masterpiece Edition on a Windows XP machine. It will make things very unstable. At least, it did for me. Fortunately, I was able to reboot using the last known good configuration, then uninstalled the miscreant software and performed a System Restore. My machine appears to be fine now.A visit to the FAQ page on UBI Soft's support site informed me that they do not support Windows 2000 or XP for their "classic" games, nor do they have plans to do so. So why are they selling a brand new boxed set of the most popular game trilogy in the history of the world without a warning? When they say "For Windows 95 or 98", they mean ONLY Windows 95 or 98. They didn't even mention Millennium Edition, that I could see! Practically all new computers sold in the past six months have come with Windows XP, so I'm guessing there are going to be lots of very unhappy campers, if my experience is any guide. Need I say more?
Rating: Summary: This game is really cool!! Review: Myst is a wonderful game full of puzzles, fun, and it takes a LOT of brain power. I enjoyed playing Myst, although for children, I would recommend adult help (some puzzles are REALLY tricky) I would say though, that this game probably shouldn't be played by children under 12. Again, very tricky. There is a little bit of a kind of spooky atmosphere (not terribly spooky), but kids might not like it. Myst is a big puzzle. There are no directions, you're just dropped on an island, all alone. You have to find special books that take you to different islands, and at every island, lies more and more puzzles. I think this game is best played in a group or with a friend. Together you can use your different skills to solve the puzzles. I would recommend this Myst Trilogy pack to anyone that enjoyed the game, or is interested. Also, the price is wonderful. If you like puzzles, thinking, and teamwork, buy this Myst Trilogy pack!
Rating: Summary: An Adventure Not To Be Forgotten... Review: Myst. Mention this name to any 'hardcore' gamers who basically survive on mindless shoot 'em up games, they cringe in fear. Why? Is the gameplay that terrible that they avoid it like plague. The answer is a simple 'no'. These gamers are simply afraid of the mature level of gaming that MYST and its series projects and yes, they are afraid of its puzzles. They can't solve it as they don't bother to put in effort. With that said, MYST is one of the classic bestselling game of all time for nine years since its release... until the Sims took over in April 2002. Myst is an adventure game. The beauty about Myst is its breathtaking images of surrealistic worlds and intertwined within it, is a gripping storyline of family rivalry and good vs. evil. The story starts out with you, accidentally touching a picture panel of an old book, and the next thing you know, you are on the island of Myst. From there, you are left with no choice but to explore. In this trilogy package, you will get all three games: Myst- Where you uncover the dark secrets of this mysterious island. Riven- You will tread deeper into rich mythology of the Myst history, and save a dying world. Myst 3: Exile- You try to rescue an entire civilisation stolen. Each of these three game feature intelligent puzzles that one can solve if he/she is extremely observant, uses every logic that he/she has in their daily life. The games also features fantastic soundtracks and breathtaking worlds to explore. People who have played Riven has compared the game's graphics like those seen on National Geographic. Want more prove? Log on to the game's website and you will see that Myst 3: Exile, has won numerous graphical awards since it was released last year. And what about Myst? The graphics that it had when it was first released, is the reason why you have a CD-Rom drive in your PC now. Many poeple wanted to play the game way back in '93 and to do so, they needed a CD-Rom drive. Myst is indeed a fantastic game to play, and with this package, there's nothing much to loose. Sure, it doesn't work well on Windows XP and Me... but most games on the market don't too. Myst triology will definately be and adventure that you cannot forget.
Rating: Summary: They're Not Just Games to Play, but Worlds to Live. Review: Myst. Riven. Exile. The words send beautiful images and music floating through my mind. "Why should I even consider buying these games?" you may ask. I'll put it to you simply: you haven't lived until you've played the games of the Myst Trilogy. That's cliché, I know, but it's true. The places you'll discover can, and will, be your reality for as long as you let them. You'll find yourself fully immersed in the beauty of the worlds of Myst, be it the surreality of Myst, the photoreality of Riven, or the perfect mix of Exile. The quality of the work, both audio and visual, will suspend your disbelief shortly after popping in one of the 10 CD-ROMs included in the Myst Trilogy... "You have just stumbled upon a most intriguing book, a book entitled 'Myst'. You have no idea where it came from, who wrote it, or how old it is. Reading through its pages provides you with only a superbly crafted description of an island world. But it's just a book, isn't it? "As you reach the end of the book, you lay your hand on a page. Suddenly your own world dissolves into blackness, replaced with the island world the pages described. Now you're here, wherever 'here' is, with no option but to explore..." Myst, Riven, and Exile have offered me many, many hours of wonderful escape from this world. They are unmatched in story, depth, and quality. In short, if you've never lived these worlds before, you are truly missing out on something amazing.
Rating: Summary: Doesn't work with Win NT, Win2000, or XP Review: No one told me before I bought this that none of the Myst programs work with any modern Windows operating system.
Rating: Summary: Noooo....puede ser... Review: No puede ser semejante juego tan malo....No soy aficionado a los juegos de aventura pero Syberia y Grim Fandango me parecen geniales...Pero este....en trilogia si dejenme decirle que es una farsa...Ni se les ocurra comprar este juego... Necesita quicktime...y consiste en hacer click sobre imagenes y estan van cambiando...acercandose, no hay sensación de movimiento...aunque dice que tiene vision 360 grados...pero esto no es un juego. Las imagenes son buenas pero es simplemente la superposicion de imagenen al hacer click....noooo que desilución tan gigante.

Rating: Summary: Please don't reveal suprise endings! Review: The game is classic and beautiful. By the way, isn't there any way to delete reviews by those unbelievably misguided people who post suprise endings and outcomes as in the below review? >>[5 out of 5 stars] This Game was Awesome!, October 7, 2002 >>Reviewer: Michelle Johnson from Riverside, California >>...When I finally got towards the end of the game I was surprised to find out that both of brothers lock you in the >>books. I was fooled by both of them.(Yeah went through the game 3 times to see the different outcomes but had all of my clues >>to manuever quickly through the game.)...
