Worth it so see it again

If you loved this in the 1980s, it might be worth $2 to see it again. It was for me. I remember it used to take forever to go through the game and click on all the options (which were not always obvious.) Originally, this was created in HyperCard, the precursor to the links used in HTML. I imagine it was much slower in certain parts as it loaded from the 800k floppy disk, and in this version, it never seems to crash the computer. I’m sure it will be just as astonishing to play with this when I’m living in the retirement home.

Instant nostalgia

If you have trouble with the sound, check the toggle switch right next to your volume button. The sound in the game didn't play at all for me until I flipped that switch. This brings back memories :-) One of the first games at ever played, at around age 5. Although I played the black and white version on an old Mac Pro, none of this color / touchscreen fanciness :-)

Awesome. Better than ever

Years ago I worked for Broderbund selling our products to retailers and demonstrating them in computer user groups all over the us. I bought this for nostalgia but also to see my kids enjoy this. I love the literary allusions to cs Lewis and Alice in wonderland and the pre myst game play but the exceptional music wins the prize here. This is gorgeously redone with enhance graphics from the cd rom.

Amazing!

I missed this one when I was a kid, but loved Spelunx and Myst. I've had so much fun with this, both by myself and sharing it with my 3 year old daughter, that I genuinely wish there were more games like this! (And, of course, that I could get Spelunx for either iOS or Mac!) Don't pass this one up. It's a true gem!

MEMORIES!

I am so glad I was thinking of this game the other day and so glad I just downloaded it! Better than I remember and I forgot how whimsical this game was... thank you for bringing this to us in app form! Worth the $1.99!

Nostalgia City

I loved this game as a kid and played it for hours on end! What a joy to have it on a mobile device! Just wandering around and listening to the music is a great way to de-stress and stroll down memory lane!

Nostalgic

We had the computer CD as kids so it is a delight to show it to our own kids now.

MYST before MYST was MYST

This is a precessor to MYST, in that u can see its influence on how MYST was made. This is a kids game but still looks like MYST. Haven't played yet but giving five stars cuz cyan deserves the support! Can't wait for Obduction!

If you've ever wanted to go all-in on the famous Myst games, here's your chance.
