Found my disc while moving
That brings back some memories. Eerie music, some of the puzzles were frustrating as hell.
I finished Myst and Myst II. Got Riven and never started it. It’s still around somewhere.
Holy shit Windows 3.1
Myst actually really fucking sucks…but it was an insane graphics marvel in its day.
Hell it held the title of best selling PC game for 5 years before actual good games like Half-Life and Starcraft came along
It is still worth trying just for its place in video game history…but yeah it doesn’t stand the test of time
Kind of like Dragon’s Lair
I remember the puzzle-solving as being satisfying, although there are much better options out there these days.
I think I might actually have two copies of Myst - mine and my father-in-law’s.
Here’s an interesting video on the challenges of programming Myst so it could actually fit on a CD:
How do I dislike a post

I’ve never gotten into first person shooters. I blame Doom for the boringness of video games now.
I always remember hearing that the graphics / environment were really used to cover for a lack of story and that the puzzles weren’t all that great. But I never actually played it. I go back to when adventure games still had text inputs, lol.
I tried myst several times as a child and could never get anywhere. I just remember my dad and other kids in my grade raving about how great it was.
It was a pretty eye opening experience talking about it with several of those kids years later and finding out they never got anywhere either.
Yea all I remember is wandering around getting nothing done, my friends now say the same thing
I think I may be developing a hades addiction. I do like that some cool things have popped up as I keep going
Mainly
Got to fight the river boat dude to get the preferred card or whatever, and also ran into the super vermin
So with people discovering Hades again I finally decided to go back and try to beat the last two goals Hades has set for you. Finally accomplished goal #1 with a Zeus stacked bow run. Zeus stack is pretty awesome for bow. Good Zeus stack is pretty good for anything, but really good for bow. Goal #2 still yet to do. Just recently discovered giving a nectar to bouldy does actually give a small random bonus, so worth it if you have an abundance of nectars.
With Hades I got to level 8 difficulty and unlocked Skelly’s first statue but realised I was no longer excited about anything I picked up on a run even diamonds and blood didn’t seem to have a useful function any more. I still go back for the occasional run but that’s it. Still a great game though. Turning your red diamonds into the firing crystals with Demeter was super op. I basically wanted that on every run.
Did you get the ending + epilogue and have hot bisexual secks?
