If you have the opportunity to play Myst on a PC, that may be the way to go because of the slightly better graphics. On the other hand, a large-screen TV, a pair of headphones and Myst 3DO make for a memorable adventure. Either way, don't Myst out.

Une ambiance incroyable, un graphisme exceptionnel, Myst est un jeu magique. Le concept de la 3DO empêche malgré tout d'apprécier le produit à sa juste valeur.

The classic PC adventure comes to the 3DO and the result is exciting. While the graphics are slightly inferior to the PC CD-ROM version, there are no worries regarding installation since the 3DO is plug-and-play.

This port from the PC version is done relatively well. The graphics and sounds are decent, but the game never really appealed to me on the PC. The game is huge, but still manages to have difficult puzzles to keep you stuck at almost every turn. For a CD title, it could have used a bit more animation or video screens rather than just single shots of a location. Adventure fans who want a challenge will really dig it, but it get's boring after a while.

Game Players
This is NOT the way to design a game. In addition to being obscure, it's crushingly repetitive and terribly self-impressed with how "meaningful" it's supposed to be. The ending is awful too --- no answers, no resolution, just a set-up fro the sequel.
