Summary: Classics
Comment: I previously owned Myst and Riven but had long since lost the discs, so when I was reminded that I wanted to play them again, I had to purchase them anew. This package allowed me to get both of those games as well as Exile for a reasonable price on three discs. Myst and Riven both worked fine on Windows XP in a virtual machine. There isn't anything new here as far as I can tell though, so if you've still got your original copies I don't see any reason to get this set. The resolution and color depth are less than spectacular, but that should probably be expected in a game after this many years.

Summary: Good but dated and flawed
Comment: I loved this game (all 3 of them) when I first came out. It was ground breaking, and immersive. Watching my son play this morning, though, shows how "water-colored" my memories have become over the years. The graphics are quite dated by today's standards.
The bigger issue was that it almost didn't work at all. The look of disappointment was building on my boy's face as daddy struggled to figure out why it kept crashing on launch. A check of the boards (not on the publisher's site) finally revealed that I should remove QuickTime and install the version that came with the disk. It's running, now. Phew.
The gameplay in this series is still good, and the story engrossing. A better transfer to modern technology would have been appreciated but it not a bad purchase.

Summary: Definitely worth the money!
Comment: If you are impatient or only enjoy games with a lot of action, this is not the game for you. It is not uncommon to become completely stuck for a while, and unless you have a really good memory, you will most likely be taking some notes here and there to remember what you have done, especially in Riven and Exile, because a flipped switch, a valve turned, or a button pressed early in the game can have a major affect on what happens much later on. On the other hand, if you enjoy a game where you need to think things through, you will experience many hours of enjoyment from this game. One thing that I really like about the game is that someone watching someone else play can be just as involved as the person playing, as both people are working together to figure out the puzzles, so nobody gets bored while waiting for their turn. If you enjoy this type of game, you will get much more than your $20 worth for the amount of enjoyment you will get from these games.

Summary: Myst 10th anniversary
Comment: The games are lots of fun for a new gamer who likes puzzles. I am having trouble saving Riven on my computer as there's no File>Menu screen. Still playing off and on. It's a good time!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Doesn't Run on ANYTHING
Comment: This game does not run on Mac OSX on an intel macbook or on a PPC iBook, or on Windows XP on an HP desktop. What does it run on? I tried almost every combination I could find and it wouldn't run on anything.
