Riven - Temple Island to Jungle Island Mag-Lev

[aptspire]

I used to solve puzzles like you, then I took an arrow in D'ni (I'm so very sorry for this one)

[LeonardMeltsner]

@aptspire Ahaha, that was great! The expression may be wearing thin, but I really like that one.

[SonOfFurzehatt]

I remember the first time I took the maglev. I thought the controls were really clever - if you want yo go back you swing the big lever back to the left and flip the small one forward again.

Then I saw the controls reset upon arrival and was disappointed.

[Tittlekopf]

Thumbs up if you're waiting at  0:41 for the pop up to appear

[LeonardMeltsner]

@Tittlekopf Dreading it is more like it. :S Riven makes it so that I have to put my computer into stand-by and back every time I want to change the disk! It's SUCH a pain!

[rkt739]

"Please insert next CD"

[Extremeineveryway]

Butterflies at 0:17 ! Sometimes I get lonesome for Riven , and I wanna cry a little . It's not a real place , but I miss it as though I was there .

[YuukoSadness]

(sigh!) I think I really never left Riven from the moment I landed on it... u//u

[greenknight5700]

This is my favorite Mag-Lev ride in this game! My dad used to tilt the computer chair to mimic the movements of the Mag-Lev, it was so fun! :D

[TalArId]

what is that?



[outtagoodnamesdangit]

Insert disk 3. :)

[jmm1233]

if you listen closely you can hear the subway station ambient noise of passengers

[Bluedino549]

@jmm1233 no, that's just the sound quality. ^^

[ukjim]

So how many of you have played Myst III Exile, Myst IV Revelation and Myst V End of Ages? I didn't realise 4 and 5 were available until just before christmas, so am in the process of playing them. Awesome.

[MythologicalGames]

I remember having to swap CDs just before and after traveling this part back and forth.

[BoneBaron]

Holy Shit graphics like that and it was released in 1997? Holy Shit.

[VNVgirl]

Seeing this makes me feel like I played it yesterday. Such a beautiful game. I think it's etched in my mind forever. I miss it sooo much...sigh.

[connamctoenail]

i F**KING LOVE THIS GAME!!

[Bundesligafahne]

i love this machine

[Dune137]

Oh and Im not telking virtual rides either. Im talking the real thing, real tracks over the ocean from island to island. I really dont like virtual rides. I know theyre cheaper for the company but they make me sick and theyre not realistic enough.

[Dune137]

Could you imagine a MYST and Riven theme park!?!?! That would be the best theme park ever! That is, as long as they would limit capacity so it doesnt get overcrowded like other theme parks. Overcrowding takes all the fun out.

[jdzero]

Yay for DVDs!

It's odd how much a single tribe with a crazy megalomaniac leading them could build in the time he was there... even if he was slowly DESTROYING their civilization by being a self-proclaimed 'god'.

[machiner6]

Maglev trams like this (if more spacious) could make a nice form of public transportaion in the future-but we'd have to get rid of that puke-engine on top first and replace it with something greener, if you know what I mean.

[Palfium66]

Mag Lev trains would be excellent because the frictionless track would allow for incredibly fast speeds.

As for puke engines and "green", it sounds like you have been suckered by the "global warming" scam. Google Climategate, discover global warming is a huge con sponsored by BigOil to switch agriculture to producing biofuels, thanks to which world food prices have doubled in the last two years, leading to mass starvation in Africa.

Here's the real "Inconvenient Truth"

/watch?v=AwkR3uuZMIM

[machiner6]

LIES!

[machiner6]

I'm actually planning to build at least one of those trams for use at the company I want to make. For transportation inside certain buildings.

[derwos]

@Palfium66 global warming paid by big oil? so what, oil companies paid 84% of scientists to think that the earth is warming due to human activity (pew research center poll, 2009) so that people would buy less gasoline, which would somehow make money for oil companies? by the way, the U.S. is like the only country in the world that didn't sign the kyoto protocol. While the rest of the world is debating on how best to deal with climate change, we're still fucking arguing about if it's even REAL

[derwos]

@machiner6

[fundament]

Insert Riven Disc 2 !!!

[lumigecko]

I seem to remember that the island he left was disc two, and that jungle island was disc three :)

[TexZK]

Videos look 1000x times better here than inside the game :D

Great old game. I finished it again one hour ago. Last time I played it, was exactly 9 years ago. I can read it from the notes I took ^_^

[fundament]

maybe disc 3, your are right. disc swapping was the only pain in Riven. what a game!!!

[gerland0]

à mon avis le plus grand jeux jammais crée !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! very top

[KevinLounsberry]

Riven is one of those games that you never forget about. It was really a part of growing up

[1PlayerD]

I never rly played myst but i remmember seeing my brother playing it after he stole it from my dad.i never knew he stole it and it was originaly my dads until i asked my dad.

[PeterPW]

Riven is a rare example of when a sequel manages to be better than the original! I remember when I first figured this out with my dad and it was tremendous fun I would ride them back and forth.

[machiner6]

I repeat, the next video I plan to make is from an old Riven-like game, but uses the MagLev animation here in this video. Still, watching it turn around is hardest, but its flight is easiest because there's a file like that. How can I do it?

[Midnaswolf47]

ICON ALERT: Insert Riven disc 3. (Mac version)

[Antphoneigh]

definately alot more detail than myst!

[HANU8]

Sorry for repling almost a year after the comment but I must tell you this , Try realMYST it is a recreation by the original company in real 3D .

[coraclebirdboat]

Goodness, I LOVE these things. My stomach always bounced at that one part. If I didn't have to keep removing the discs I probably would have rode around in these all day.

[nebulousecho]

You can copy the files from the CDs to the hard drive and never need to swap them :)

[259]

You should get the DVD version of Riven instead. Disc swapping woes are now a thing of the past!

[sl1963]

The greatest game of all time.

[Tiefenwelten]

really, it was!

[nukleopatra88]

I love the mag-lev! When I first played Riven i was so thrilled by this one sequence until it crashed after inserting the next cd. :P

[eurasianchica]

when I was younger my dad used to play this game and I thought it was so cool! I liked the submarine thingy and the weird spinning gold globe.

[nimpo46]

it makes me want to read the book again... but Riven is the best game ever... and that ride part is amazing. you feel like ur actually on a ride

[mg115ca]

I remember getting scared like crazy when I first watched this and went over that bump in the middle

[TSXboy26]

i wanna live there.....

[SesakaBlargh]

Beautiful! I wish there's a coastal coaster (Pfft coastal coaster ref) in real life. That would've been amazing to travel to island to island like that. :)

[gusbrac]

When i was a kid, i dreamed of building that Mag-Lev... It's simply amazing.

[jinsparrow]

heheh when i was a kid my friend and i would throw a dark blanket over the screen and heads and watch this part ^^

[britoca]

best game ever

[johnr44p]

was ace check my myst video

[DattuWarptera]

... I don't see any videos on your page. :/

[elpistachio]

that's the best ride in the game. I don't get why Gehn HAD to build the wood cart thing (from Jungle island to crater island) under water. I guess it makes it cooler, but still...

[jeexbit]

ah man, i loved that game...

[Windows4eva]

I think i faintly remember this being at the start? Not sure, havn't played this for years!
