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?

nope, doesnt really matter. theres basically no clear story lines in myst/riven. thats what makes it sooo cool as a mysterious game that u never have any real idea what the fuck is going on when ur playing it

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.

I can get the Dos version to run just fine, but I have found most games that have two versions, the dos is cut down alot, IDK about this game though.

What you can do is to Emulate 16bit on the XP virtual machine... but -.- I dont have Windows 7 pro or ultimate,(If you dont have a core series CPU you have to use VMlight instead of Microsoft's solution) and I failed with Wine on some of the apps I was trieng to use. But this is highly inefficient.

As you can tell I spent a shit load of waisted time to get 16bit to run, but ultimitly failed.
