while we're here talking about old computer games, anyone remember torins passage? i fucking love that game, it was soo just....different. it was like this kid who has to find his parents that got kidnapped in the middle ages or w/e, and u gotta go through different levels of earth and what seems like other planets. it was by far one of the wierdest but most entertaining games ive ever played. not myst wierd, more like WTF is this kind of wierd, with obscure humor that only a select few would find funny. it is defenitely worth trying, although i beleive the only version availiable is for either windows 95 or 98. lol
edit: sorry for the double post guys :P
holy shit i loved myst!
that game came out when i was like, 6 or so. it sold more CD-ROM drives than any other game in history. when my folks brought it home, i'd sit next to the computer and we'd play it as a family, and i helped solve the puzzles and shit. then we did the same for Riven, and Exile...
we used to play all sorts of adventure games together. stars said this was Real Myst? is it a direct port, or did they fix anything? because real myst was fucking incredible.
used to play it on playstation, now i play it occasionaly when i am really high because the graphics are like PACHOW
funny, I said in a earlier post that I had in fact played an adventure game once before, way back in the day (play station era) and it was riven Lol... I was looking at the screen pics on steam and I remember some of them. I bought it, but was wondering if it matters if I play riven before I play myst? is 1 better then the other? am I screwing myself by playing riven first?

Well Riven is considered the hardest of all the myst games. as for the story, The back story is just finding Artus and not saving the brothers who have been corrupted. There isnt much of a story in myst but an amazing environment to look though and a deep back story that really has no impact on the gameplay.
you guys still gotta try torrins passage!!!
