IlyaP Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Figure this might be of some interest to some folk here. There's a kickstarter campaign up to help documentary filmmaker Philip Shane fund an expansive documentary on the Myst games. (It's currently 56K away from its funding goals.)

Argonath Diver Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Wow, very cool! Myst was the first game that I ever really dove into (the way so many of us did). Sure I played a ton of Zelda and Madden, but boy oh boy was it a blast to use up a whole half a notebook with my scribbles. I got it on Christmas and hardly left the computer room until school was back in session. Was in college when Riven came out, and my roommate and I played the crap out of that as well - we'd literally compare notes on our theories and puzzle solutions. Heck, I even read a few of those pretty bad books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wait till Cyan finish Starry Expanse - then you'll be able to revisit Riven in proper 3D! (It started out as a fan-made game and amalgamated with Cyan late last year, just before Covid hit, but it's still being worked on.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argonath Diver Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Fantastic, man! Riven I felt like was a masterpiece in its own right. I think I'll have to go experience the two again now that you've got me thinking about them. It's gotta have been a decade. I'll be just fuzzy enough that the hardest puzzles are still completely maddening, but I'll at least know that the much smarter 18 year old Me did actually finish and even master them.
