The creators of Myst and Riven bit the dust today from a lack of funding. You may now consider the game industry officially dead.

I must be the only person who didn't really see what was great about Myst.

Never played Myst or Riven. But from what I've seen from cover artwork the games look pretty good?

Myst is a very good game, love the graphics, story, sound; everybody should have played it.
On that site it says: "...as it was the first game to be released exclusively on CD...", However I thought that The Seventh Guest was the first (even 2 CDs!). That's such an awesome game.

Myst was just before 7th Guest. But I think that 7th Guest got people buying CD-Rom drives more.

7th guest kicked ass (anyone who doesn't say so is a irish housewife with an eletronic part). So did Myst... not as much though.

Cyan has hired all their old staff again, and continues to exist. It was in the news today.

"The original Myst sold over 12 million copies and held the title of best-selling computer game until The Sims was released."

Does that message have anything to do with that message I think I posted to the forum? It may have been one I dreamt, for I was very, very drunk, and it's not here now.


Thank god, Im never touching alcohol again.

If you are refering to my post: no, it was not. I merely expressed the way I would treat the simversion of you. :aharr:
