Then why do I prefer the version from 2000 and not from 2014 (and subsequent patches)?īecause it was more astonishing in 2000 to see the first implementation of a realtime 3D Myst game, and what they were able to do with DirectX7 alone-in comparison to the less than stellar representation of the 2014 version. I myself actually prefer either the port of the original "Myst" on the Playstation (One)-se my reasoning on it in the above post-or the earlier "realMyst" from (2000).įor me none of the realtime 3D remakes get close to the original's vision, feel and aesthetics. Of course, everyone has their own opinion on which is "the best" version of "Myst". It has everything packaged in one and it isn't missing Rime. Nicole28: (.) the best version is still the 2014 Realmyst masterpiece version. I always wondered how the old console versions felt because it's a game that is inseparable from mouse control for me. Unfortunately, "Riven" featured only one language which depended on the region.įoxgog: Hello 'my name is supyreor catte' & DDDespair!Ĭonsidering the troubles of dealing with old quicktime versions, compatibility issues, the discussed lever puzzle error on PC, I always felt the Playstation One port was superior with a seemingly better color definition (more so in "Riven"), more comfortable game controls (especially the pointer / navigation short cuts on the controller's shoulder buttons), the ease of use ('plug & play'), and the additional feature of language and subtitle (!) selection in the European (PAL) release.įoxgog Thanks for the interesting insights!

For once, the two levers did not operate anymore with the incremental velocity steps on one of them, but only with either zero or full rotation speed! And secondly, the simulator got stuck or frozen so that it was impossible to gather the audio clues for the cardinal directions (later userful in the selenetic age)!Ĭonsidering the troubles of dealing with old quicktime versions, compatibility issues, the discussed lever puzzle error on PC, I always felt the Playstation One port was superior with a seemingly better color definition (more so in "Riven"), more comfortable game controls (especially the pointer / navigation short cuts on the controller's shoulder buttons), the ease of use ('plug & play'), and the additional feature of (language and) subtitle (!) selection for all videos and audios in the European (PAL) release. I did not experienced it in the former (non-ScummVM) 2.x.x.x installer nor in the current ScummVM-bundled release.įurthermore, I had a similarily progress interfering bug in the "RealMyst Masterpiece Edition", where neither the simulator nor the fortress rotation could be controlled correctly. The aforementioned error in the reproduction of the island / fortress rotation and audio clues in the simulator were present in the earlier installer, too. I can not remember anymore, if the version within the "Ages of Myst" double pack (of "Myst" and "Riven") had the same issue or not.)Īfter buying "Myst MPE" again here on GOG, I backed-up three different installer packages: the earlier disc version (old 1.x.x.x installer) which is also troubled by the quicktime requirement, the former new installer format (2.x.x.x) and the more recent ScummVM-integrated release.

Regarding the bug of the original "Myst Masterpiece Edition" on PC (Win) in the mechanical age (fortress rotation & fortress rotation simulator) that 'my name is supyreor catte' mentioned, I experienced it, as well, while playing the hybrid (Win/Mac) CD-ROM version contained in the "Myst Trilogy" package from Ubisoft! I am playing "Myst" and its sequels, since I encountered the original's port on the Playstation (One)! For me this port was the definitive edition of the first "Myst" (and "Riven") although it had a lower resolution and some aliasing problems. My name is supyreor catte: (.)
