Myst for iPhone

[packersleo]

thumbs up if you tried clicking on the myst video in the book just now because you wanted to go back.

[simple359]

This game alone accelerated the adoption of CD-ROM drives and format to a huge degree.

[janX9]

Riven is on SALE $2.99 in the app store!!!

[Aboodyksa]

it's out NOW!

[jcamjcam]

I wish someone would update Myst to make it free-roaming and better graphics. It needs a whole new overhaul IMO

[okamiyazaki]

@jcamjcam You must not have heard of RealMyst. The graphics are somewhat improved and it is free-roaming and real-time. It has been out for ages.

[DJd3monic]

Myst is f**ing classing. An amazing series that inspired me in different ways than one.

[SanAndreasRobbePlay]

I live it how people say this game isn't fun.

For those of you who think it's not fun, it's because YOU ARE YOUNG.

In 1994 this was the best selling game in the entire world. (Look it up, MW2fags)

[janX9]

@SanAndreasRobbePlay And after 17 years, the game still looks Awesome! I can't wait until they release the whole series on Mobile!

[lonne16]

Cyan have on their website announced that they soon will release Riven: The sequel to myst for iPhone! 

[artwel123]

I Myst the bus

[SuperClesh]

I wish I had known about this before I bought Myst DS.

[Chugiddy]

you need to put a piece of electric tape over the recording light on your camera.

[undernetpolice]

this phone is better than wii

[h4x0y]

I noticed the iPad has the exact same resolution as Myst IV, and since Revelation was great GREAT title in the Myst series... Cyan? Ubisoft? PLEAAAASSSEEE????!?:P

[Mazzinwx]

@h4x0y

Since Cyan isn't responsible for Myst 3: Exile and Myst 4: Revelation, they won't do it (I think). Cyan has some difficulties to maintain ashflow (that's why Uru:Myst Online stopped) .... and I don't think Ubi will do it.

Second, I'm not sure but the iPad could have difficulties to run that kind of game alos but I can be wrong (quid of specification ?)

[h4x0y]

@Mazzinwx the ipad meets the cpu requirements for myst IV (700mhz, ipad: 1ghz quad core) aswell as ram (128mb, ipad: 1GB) not sure about the graphics thought, but it should be good enough. but time will tell, if the ipad gets really popular (already an estimated 9M sells in year 1) we may see the myst series on the app store some day.

[Mazzinwx]

@h4x0y @h4x0y

Ok! So finally it seems iPad is good enough!

But without clear explanation about graphic chip (I can't find any information about it) and knowing that iPad is more like a giant iPhone than that a "real" computer.

And I think Myst 3 is based on QT VR, so QT VR must run on iPad in order to play the game (I think).

[Mazzinwx]

@h4x0y (again ^^)

P.S: I just find a link to informations concerning Graphic Ship:

"Apple Using PowerVR SGX Graphics Chip in iPad"

It's exactly the same ship like the one on iPhone .. with maybe some tweeks

[h4x0y]

@Mazzinwx hm interesting, but the much faster CPU should be able to do the job. i think i've read somewhere that one of the 4 cores in the ipad is used for graphics acceleration but i'm not sure of that. but fortunately, there's not so much 3D rendering needed in myst IV (even less in Myst III), most of what you see is pre-rendered. if the myst series really would come out on the ipad, it wouldnt be just fun and an extra reason to buy an ipad, it would be a great way to let myst survive longer..

[Mazzinwx]

@h4x0y

I didn't know one of the core could be used in place of a graphic ship, looks promising finally!

But I wandered how the iPad could handle QT VR ... because I can't remember how QTVR work .. is it pre-rendered or on-the-fly ?? I suppose it's the first choice ^^

Sadly, I won't put money in a "big iPhone" only to play Myst ... I rater prefer to use a tablet PC because it fits more of my needs!!

But nice to see games like Myst having a dedicated version!!

[h4x0y]

@Mazzinwx i dont really know whether myst uses qtvr or some similar technology, but sure ipad could handle it, especially qtvr because its apple. i think qtvr is rendered on the fly btw, see it as a bunch of 2D images put together rendered in a realtime 3D globe. and remember the ipad can do alot more than just myst:P cant really think of anything it cant do compared to a tablet pc, and it has the gorgeous display, too;)

[titanicpiano14]

Check Out My Rendition of the Myst theme on keyboard!

[DJAlup]

awsome intro... wish they had that on the real game!

[Mazzinwx]

@DJAlup

That intro is the same as the original one!!

Windows version I'm not sure, but the Mac one is the same!!

[thedoobieman5]

Just finished this game two days ago. Riding in that underground maze was the worst part.

Time to start Riven now!

[AlphaBetaParkingLot]

I love that Maze! One of my favorite parts, not to say it was easy.

I also just started Riven. So far it is Awesome.

[SuperNintendoCrew21]

I need to start Myst.

[Colonelmum]

Whoa, blast from the past.

[TheDoogleBoy]

Myst lore and story is amazing.

[obsidanse]

Yes, but morally, Red Book should just die in a pile of poop.. He's evil, Blue is just deranged.

[paikiboy]

What means BUT morally? Perhaps because do you miss to blast avay and kill persons? Buy another game, there are much, too much - also in real life...

[tetavo]

played this when I was a kid. sent chills up my spine in parts.

[courtneylvgirl]

me too! It was the sounds.

[ProgDrummerQ]

Oh, and by the way Red book pwns Blue book any day

[ProgDrummerQ]

i dont recall that opening sequence being there....

[news5963]

thank you^^)/

[aillae23]

I loved the original Myst on PC, it's simply an incredible game. The puzzles were challenging yet lots of fun. I'm glad this version is true to the original, I have to buy it soon!

[USPSAman]

I love this game just like the one on the pc a long time ago .

[toa5tmaster]

"will this download harm my ipod?"

yes, it will melt and turn into a screaming/flaming skull (from doom) and you will be in apple hell because you downloaded myst...

I think you will be just as fine as everyone else...

[ohhhthatslyksowierd]

no need to be mean god why do people feel the need to answer someone so rudley? did you have fun?

[goggles89]

The comment was not malicious, silly, it was sarcasm.

[Microsoftultimatefan]

@toa5tmaster Myst is a good game.

[ryanhayn]

I used to play this as a kid on my Macintosh Performa 575. It was fuckin boring.

[miyaonaise]

Sorry this game isn't like Halo or Half-Life, it's a family friendly game with exploration and lots of puzzles. So fuck you asshole. Yes the level is empty with just puzzles and no interaction, but that's what Myst is. And imo, it's an awesome game. Please go back to your shitty computer and Xbox and disappear. Kthxbai.

[mblatch777]

@miyaonaise hahhah...you're really concerned about being family-friendly aren't you...

[Neuiv]

@miyaonaise I think the music would terrify the children

[Splishee]

Myst! Fantastic game, proud to say I completed it on the iPhone - though much shorter than I would have liked! The beauty and downfall of such an addictive game is that you can carry it around everywhere with you and play it as much as you want, which means that it can be completed very fast! I wish I could have taken my time so it wouldn't all be over, but it was so fun and puzzling I just couldn't put it down. Good work, Cyan Worlds! And hooray for iPhones!

[SargeSix]

fucking awesome, im so getting this

[h4x0y]

i think only myst fans like this iphone version. there's just no way that someone who's not familiar with the game is going to play this on the iphone, it's much more of an experience on the pc. but for the real myst fan, the ultimate gadget

[xxFNORDxx]

Myst was probably one of the best puzzle games ever created. I loved this game back in the day.

[dondiego2802]

what's the point of this game ?

[aaroninclub]

its a puzzle game man!

[noitcurtsnocnacnuD]

Good to hear it has the original dialogue, I hate the redub they did for some versions, makes Atrust sound extremely bored :(

[100yencoin]

なつかしい！１０年くらい記憶から消えてたよ。

[Shannon220395]

im so stuck! can anyone help? on the stoneshipage how do you find the secret passage on the pitch black stairs?

[bioman10154]

turn the lights on. you have to use the pumps under the umbrella to lower the water level in the lighthouse and reveal some stairs and a chest, in which you let out all the water, and then go back up and flood it again. use the key bolted to the door to open the chest, and use the key inside to open a trapdoor to the place where the beacon is supposed to be, and crank the motor up to power the lights. hope this helps.

[Shannon220395]

thank you so much!!

[bioman10154]

yeah. loved this game as a kid.I had beat all the games, but the only one I really owned was riven...

[aramil136]

yeah, Riven was by far the most difficult game in the whole MYST Universe... Especially the world map puzzle... :s

[pllb]

I remember this game from a teenager..I remember making it to some sort of jungle world where everyone lived in trees

[matsawsammy3]

I keep trying to add it to my phone but it wont work can any1 give me some advice?

[moniker127]

Make sure it is downloaded in itunes, then add it to your sync list, and hid the sync button. Thats all you should have to do.

[philo23]

due to the way the iPhone OS handles installation, you need to have about 1.1GB of space free on the iPhone or iPod Touch before installing.

[matsawsammy3]

K thnk u its on now.

[javiertss1]

that is why i want to get the 32gb one

[Kuyuuji]

seriously speaking 16gb is more than enough haha, so far im using it with lots space left unless u wan to stored alot of High Quality converted MP4 Videos which can cost up to 1gb(min) per file size, if not 16gb is enough for regular usage, 32gb will be quite a waste for the $ and tend to get laggy as more space kept emptied/used

[junkauge]

I doubt very much that it will lag with more space used

[rishab155]

man a 727mb game for ipod touch wow!

EA should release racing games of these sizes

[lordofwafflez]

im deciding which ipod touch i should get because of the memory size, but could you tell me about how many mbs does an average app take up?

[habbopassload]

Some are 1Mb

Some are 10Mb

And this one is around 800Mb :D

[lordofwafflez]

Thank You

[rishab155]

it depends! Some apps are just 4-5 mb some are 15-30 mb some are 60-100 mb and big games like CSI miami 250 mb tiger woods pga tour 160 mb so I recommend you to buy an ipod touch 16gb coz i do not find my ipod touch 8gb enough and hey its my CBSE result today at 10:00hrs wish me luck hope i helped!

[lordofwafflez]

Thank You very much, and, Good luck!

[Fender7083]

Carmen Sandiego! I completely forgot about that game! It was so hard! I got stuck at the origami tree. Right now I am download myston my iphone, but six dollars for a game? kinda pricey. But click games are best! Like Pajama Sam! He was sooo cool! I beat every game besides # 2!

[jiubreyn]

You get a thumbs up for the Carmen Sandiego reference. :o) Love it!

[patmosayco]

Ooohhh!! que nostalgia, que recuerdos.. snif snif

La mejor saga de aventura grafica de todos los tiempos.

[cybercube333]

i dont really understand how to play this game..i think i'll pass on this one..

[Macs101]

its cus u wont take the time to understand... its an incredibly simple game if uknow what ur doing

[Witdog757]

I LOVE MYST!!!

[sathomaso]

i don't know. really read some good reviews about the story, but i hated Myst back when it came out, and i still do so today. 720 MB for a clickable diashow? really not worth it IMO.

[AodanMRG]

Worth the 720MB and £3.50? I really don't know

[zweg2]

No it's not.

[dbp1991]

is this like carmen sandiego?

[usamaki10]

this game is insane, and always has been

that line in the app's description was so nostalgic

"Welcome back to Myst"

[IsaSkyLimit]

what's this game about?

[mylesputnam]

I have been a myst fan for a couple years and have played the first four games. It is really cool to see this on the Iphone!

[mastersirus1985]

727mb and I thought NFS was alot at 92mb-LOL

[dominator157]

This game looks like it could be really cool if they were actually 3D environments that you could explore, rather than just images that you tap on. I know it's an old game, but why not take the time to use new technology to make it that much better for 6 bucks?

[tonybonanza]

I don't think the iPhone CPU could handle a complex 3D environment like that.

[LadikkidaL]

if you didn't realise, it isn't 3d at all...

[aramil136]

Myst has been rewritten as a 3D real time game, at least for PC

[Tiltshift]

that looks really stupid...

[videoman223]

i came to this vid to see what it was like sence its like the #2 app on the store

but i just hate it how you have to click and it has no animation your just there that seems really annoying and whats the whole point of the game

[Bipnut]

oh the memories. i remember playing this as a little kid and getting so pissed because i didnt know how to play for a long time and i play to win. ahh it fried my mind trying to figure this game out haha

[bruceleeC64]

(When) Is it released?

[irishidioticgenius]

it's out now

[ace942]

I remember playing this game back in the day. It is great that it was released for the iPhone. it will be fun to play it again. Maybe we might even get the Journeyman Project at some point as well.

[stephenisakeeper]

I really enjoyed playing Myst when I first bought it. In fact I still have this version for the PC. It is really nice to see this game on a new platform and any future Myst fans will enjoy the story and puzzles.

[MyNameWontFi]

This brings back memories... (in a good way)

[1Blakparade]

u say this game is geek cause you actually have to think to play it?!

[maddoxlife]

Perfect, so now you can fulfill your only goal in life, complete the game... Nice One!

[Minimum91]

OMG, I love this game so much, I remember I had a Copy of the game, then later lost it. But I Completed like 3 worlds of this. Really hard.

[maddoxlife]

so geek....

[Minimum91]

Maybe, but fun nonetheless.

[TiqueO6]

I got into Brøderbund (?) and the Cyan bros because of Spelunx. anyone else?

[kapkaplui]

the pace is slow, but it's okay. it is puzzle game rather then action.

[night76]

I remember trying to play this as a young kid and I was never able to figure out any of the puzzles so I just eventually gave up and moved on. I may go back and play it now.

[MarkovicDeluxe]

Even The Force Unleashed was a better point and click game than this faggotry screenshifting. Oh and if anyone points out "nice graphics", play Half Life 2 or Crysis.

[umoq3qISdnn]

its a iphone lol, i dont think they had intensions playing crysis and half life on it. idiot

[Snowspot]

Do you realize how fucking dumb you sound? this game is from 1993 dumbshit.

[MarkovicDeluxe]

Yeah, so I'm dumb because someone mentioned that this game has "pretty good graphics" and I think it doesn't.

It's goddamn prerendered shitpics from 93, so how could one possibly say "good graphics" today?

Think about it dumbass.

[BeSweeeet]

Looks kind of boring, but I might give it a go. I always wanted to play it.

Better A/V quality of the video would have been nice...

[donny0man]

730mb? Did they have that kind of portable media back in 93?

[TiqueO6]

I seem to remember it was more than one CD and maybe I was able to copy the program to disk or had to run the program from disk (used to copy it to HD if I had enough space).

[Symmetriq]

I think you're thinking of Riven. The original Myst was just one CD.

[Symmetriq]

The original Myst was one of the first CD-ROM games, so yes.

[artaxias]

Yeah, me too. I bought the boxed version sometime in '95 along with Return to Zork and never got around playing it. Now I have a chance.

[maddoxlife]

another one that has to fulfill his destiny

[monkeybikeuk]

Looks so boring.

[TheFireBoy08]

damn good graphics for a Portable Gaming Device

[Xenophear3013]

i remember this game

[AriarchRS]

awesome :)

[Sevallis01]

It's fantastic to see Cyan putting out the first computer game I played as a kid on the iPhone. This is definitely a no brainer purchase for me.
