QUOTE said:
Myst is an immersive experience that draws you in and won't let you go. You enter a unique setting, venturing alone to varied times and places, the worlds that compose Myst. There are no instructions, and you encounter no living beings but soon realize your actions may help individuals who are somehow trapped in a parallel dimension.

You don't so much play Myst, as experience it. Of course you must solve a multitude of puzzles, mazes, and problems, but Myst's principal attractions are its environment and the underlying intrafamily drama that unfolds as you explore.

Unlike most adventure games, Myst offers no inventory, no death, and no dialogue. Although puzzles don't seem to have much direct connection to the game, they share a commonality. They take on many forms but follow a consistent thread. Some puzzles are very challenging, even obtuse, creating an odd paradox: many buy Myst, but few complete it. It is immensely popular, but most nonadventurers quit in frustration. Fortunately, Myst's popularity has spawned several online sites for hints, walk-throughs, and even saved games .

The nonlinear gameplay of Myst lets players go anywhere at any time. Unlike other adventure games, Myst has no inventory, and players never die. Incredibly detailed, Myst offers more depth than any other CD-ROM game to date.

Features:
- All source code has been re-written specifically for Nintendo DS performance and gameplay.
- A complete all NEW Age, the RIME AGE, to explore and uncover mysteries on DS
- NEW sounds, effects, and video clips added throughout. All newly created graphic sets for the added RIME AGE specifically done for the DS
- Newly re-mastered Video and audio
- Save Multiple games for various players.

Wow! This is really great! And just yesterday I thought to myself: "Wouldn't it be great if we had some "Myst" style adventure games on DS?" Talk about great timing!

Was expecting this thread to be someone moaning about it not being on the DS. Not sure what to think of this, can't say I liked it when it was first release but then there were many games that bored me then and I enjoyed now so keeping an open mind.

I remember beating the PC version years ago. I used a hint guide in the end, but it was still cool. The extra environment should keep it fresh on the DS.

Wooo!! awesome news because now it's official. I want to see screens so badly!!! I think they should do a remake of Nights into Dreams for the DS. It would be similar to the Starfox DS game. I wish...they are making it for Wii, might as well...lol idk.

God I love Myst! I've had a bit of trouble getting the PC version to run on my new comp so this will be just great!

On another note, for all the readers/booklovers out there, the Myst novels a surprisingly well written and extremely entertaining. They are vaguely fantastical, but more in the sense of desolate, sparsely-populated alternate worlds. I'm a bit of a literature snob and I generally don't like fantasy at all, let alone popular fiction style paperbacks, but the Myst books really surprised me!

Wow awesome, this is good news :]

I'm all for re-releases of good old titles.. Resident Evil was a good start.
Lets hope we'll see more of this..
Maybe a Monkey Island double pack? That would be so cool.

Wasn't the "Rime Age" added in the remake of Myst for the PC and the Playstation 1 version?

Not that it matters, I didn't play either of those. It'll be fun to play Myst again. It's been probably just long enough that I've forgotten how to solve most of the puzzles.

I’m happy to here whenever a big name game is coming to the DS.
Even though this game put me to sleep on the PC, & I expect it will
do the same on the DS if not worse. At least the PC had the beautiful
pictures. But the more games the merrier.

A bit cool, but i would prefer a "real" adventure game like Simon the Sorceror.

I was waiting for MYST for the Amiga and when it finally was released i didn't care much for it.. It was a bit to stiff.

  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.
