Myst3 Marble Ride

[Vegna24]

I wish they made this coaster in real life ... I'd ride it!

[Belaster7771]

This was the coolest ride I ever been on in a video game!!! ^_^

[Edward256]

It is a strange age of strange physics. You solve some Rube Goldberg puzzles so that a marble can pass through 4 obsticles without problems. Then you are sent up and placed in this marble to get through it all.

Now if only someone can think of a fun way of building this in real life (or at least the man in a marble on mad tracks part, never mind about the obsticles).

[Mikemc]

I remember playing this for the first time and being scared that I might have not gotten it right. What if a sound wave arch shatters me too?? :)

[richardhalo]

This game was my favorite from the series. It had so much depth and quality, it was a unique experience. Plus this marble ride was fantastic. I loaded my save so many times just to take this ride again and again. Awesome.

[jonsprettylady]

ah yeah this was my most favorite age, sooo beautiful with the sunset and the storm, makes me want to cry even lol

[Minouphile]

Merveilleux !!!

[tkon04]

Magnificent visuals, thanks for posting this Awesome scene Ed256. A question, at 1:05, another marble was seen briefly on another rail, is it a counterweight or another traveler perhaps?

[Edward256]

Watch it closely there, and then watch the bottom of the screen at 1:08. Counterweight. I take it you haven't played the game.

[tkon04]

You could say that, I've played 'Myst,' and 'Riven,' and I'm getting to 'Exile' now, it's Outstanding how they improved the format of this game, btw, thanks for pointing out the other counterweight marble at 1:08.

[Clarinerd617]

you may want to play it. If you've already done Riven (without cheating, of course) then it'll be easy sailing from here. Riven has been voted as the hardest.

[derblicker]

i dont like the miracle but the marble ride blowed the problems away.

[nasozor]

The best game's scene ever!

[Tabbyclaw]

I remember the absolute *shock* when I solved the last puzzle and this happened the first time I played the game. Must have gone back to it half a dozen times just to watch it, and it always made me just a little bit motion sick.

[jumpmaster98]

Shouldn't that thing have like, a seatbelt or something?

[whiteechidna]

Then when your strapped down in the marble, you'd be going in circle's inside, and vomit more than you would without seat belts. Also, it's a fictional world, so they probably wouldn't know what a seatbelt was.

[YetiBrothers]

Who's 'they?' Amateria is uninhabited.

[scottbrenkert]

This is a great copy, the soundtrack doesn't get out of sync as happened with an earlier posting.

This was my favorite Age in what became my favorite episode in the Myst saga. Alas, no more Ages to explore!!

[bunnybooties]

This was my favorite too. I was so proud of myself when I completed this age! The way the designers knew how to create the point of view of being inside a marble moving through the tracks so smoothly and seamlessly is nothing short of amazing!:D

[sirMAXX77]

almost 3 whole minutes all thats missing now is a imax 3D version with hydrolic seating and you got something pretty cool.

[Boadicia]

this age is my favorite in the game; I love to watch the sunset on one side of the horizon, the storm on the other, and the twilight right above; it's probably the most beautiful of the three ages

[demoman87]

this was my favorite world in Myst 3. It's so pretty when you look out at the horizon.

[Kscorps2]

you all MUST buy this game.

[myPETsnailFRED]

what game is this

[Clarinerd617]

Myst III: Exile

[Poketron12]

That game is epic, made before all the next gen consoles... but still better animation....

[Poketron12]

And Storyline, and setting, and characters, and backstory.

[nukleopatra88]

best ride in the game next to the airship

[czstealth]

im sure that marble had a lot of fun

[billycheese565]

wat happens if u dont build it all the way

[Edward256]

Try. :D

[billycheese565]

i dont have the game

[quadrupleplay]

It just doesn't activate, for your safety.

[Strider505]

best part of exile. easily

[tinachris2842]

Maan....that was the best puzzle of all the Myst games imho XD...

[FlippieX]

this was one of the most amazing things of exile...:D

[erikatvdriver]

cool

[GameMovier]

I love the myst series i got from riven to Myst revelation :D to Uru But i don`t like Uru soo much cause i can make ur own character

[MattyWestie]

[TheAlmightyTalest]

That has got to be the most awesomely terrifying roller coaster I've ever seen

[Petpatrol2]

Wow... I hav eno idea what I just saw ut I liked it

[MicroProcessor314]

This is undoubtedly the best of all Myst rides

[Illiot1001]

this would b th best ride ever 8D

[bunnybooties]

Yes please,make some blue prints right away!CHOP CHOP! My fat ass wants to ride a big see thru ice marble or maybe they can just roll my perfect marble shaped body thru the track system!:D

[gptau]

thanks a lot! i wanted to see one more time this big pleasure of the game!

[Macabeak]

I loved this thing XD I wished I could ride it again and again and again once I finished it the first time!

[Edward256]

I know, you'd like it to be a real life ride. Shall I make some blue-prints and send them to your local fair? :p

[bunnybooties]

I was so proud of myself when I solved this age puzzle.This is my favorite video sequence too. Like those virtual rollercoaster rides they have at the state fair!:D

[DVCorvax]

The most mind-blowing cut sequence for a game ever made! (But where's the music?) Long live the Myst games!

[Edward256]

There is no music in this Bink Video file.

[arothmanmusic]

Yeah, totally one of the best moments in the whole series. My other 'wow' moment I think was the Moiety Cave sequence in Riven.

[agentleastlikely]

Possibly one of the most exciting and satisfying moments in all of Myst? I definitely think so! Thanks for uploading!

[pattymnaish]

This was my absolute favourite part of the game. :D

[61862006]

has anyone elase had trouble laoding exile?

[Phobos15]

this was my favorite age in Myst III

[anthonettex]

it was awesome to solve the puzzles before realising its all one big elaborate set up! really suprised me. ppl who haven't played the game (or this age) may not appreciate it but nevertheless very cool

[undiente]

This age was awesome! and for sure thats the best "final video" of the 3 ages

[Mattbluhalofan]

Oh, without a doubt. I remember the first time going through here.

It rocked my world.

[frankydevil666]

COOL!!!!
