Myst V Review
painted a world that made players feel as if they had stepped into another dimension that was almost as real as their own. For the first time, normal people who had never played a video game before were becoming enthralled with Myst, and the consequences were astonishing. The game's authors, Rand and Robyn Miller who designed and produced Myst in their garage, became two of the most respected software developers in the world in record time, and their game became a phenomenon—since its release in 1993, no game has ever sold more copies than the original Myst.Myst, and the series that it gave birth to, should hold a special place in Mac users' hearts. Unlike so many new games these days, Myst is a Mac game to the core: it was created on a Mac, for the Mac. Rand Miller, in a recent interview with Macworld said that the reason for using Macs was simple: Mac users are a more discerning audience, tending to care about aesthetics much more than their Windows or Linux-using counterparts. 'If you're not going to stop and appreciate the scenery, you're not going to enjoy Myst,' said Miller. 'The same thing applies on the Mac as well.' [Link]. Not only was Myst originally a Mac-only title, it was also the first game to make use of the capacity offered by the (then) newly-minted CD-ROM discs that were slow to become accepted in the computer industry. In fact, Myst may have been the first true 'killer app' produced by the computer game industry: something the computing industry defines as a 'must-have' program that is so desirable that it sells hardware all by itself (similar to how Halo contributed to the Xbox's success).
Myst V Guide
Cyan
(as we know it) was fashioned, which set the stage for the four Myst sequels: Riven, Myst III: Exile, Myst IV: Revelation, and Myst V: End of Ages. Riven, the second installment in the series, featured so much more content than Myst that it required an unheard-of five CDs and quickly became notorious for its puzzles, which were of almost Machiavellian difficulty. Picking up right where Myst left off, this game focused on the imprisonment of Atrus' wife Catherine on the Age of Riven, written by Atrus' megalomaniac father, Gehn. Trailing the runaway success of Riven by four years, Myst III: Exile was released in late 2001. In this chapter of the Myst story, the sinister tale of a man named Saavedro (played by Brad Dourif) was told. Players were given the chance to unravel the reason behind Saavedro's hunger for revenge against Atrus and Catherine in a beautifully designed panoramic world where for the first time they were allowed to look freely in any direction. Whereas the first two games in the series were more or less static slideshows punctuated by Quicktime movies, Myst III: Exile began to break that mold in order to offer a more immersive gaming experience. The gripping story, gameplay enhancements and the slightly less menacing puzzles made Myst III: Exile yet another great success.
Myst End Of Ages
With the introduction of Myst IV: Revelation in 2004, Cyan unveiled a groundbreaking new engine dubbed 'ALIVE' that animated nearly everything in the game in real time—a major step toward further blurring the line between Myst's traditionally static worlds and the true 3D experience that many fans were hoping for. This and other similar improvements offered such a large, vibrant world to explore that it nearly filled two DVDs to capacity. Set 20 years after the events of the original Myst and about 10 years after Myst III: Exile, Myst IV: Revelation revisited Atrus' sons and told the tale of the kidnapping of Atrus' young daughter, Yeesha (who was seen as a baby in Myst III: Exile). Myst IV was yet another success, but Rand Miller (Robyn had moved on to other things long ago) was apparently growing restless after working on nothing but Myst titles for almost a decade and a half, and so decided to bring the series to a close. Thus, the stage was set for Myst V: End of Ages.
