General Notes and Technical Issues

First, a technical issue: While I was using Yosemite OS, the application stopped running and wouldn’t even open up. I resolved the issue by upgrading to el Capitan OS, deleting the existing application and then downloading a new copy. So far it seems to be working.

General Notes: This is a wonderful update to the original Myst, with all the old puzzles intact and a few new animations added along with the bonus age of Rime. It can be a little choppy, but that is less important to me than the wonderful feeling of once again stepping into Atrus’ Library, the eerie sounds while traversing the Selenetic Age, or the chill of looking through Sirrus’ telescope in the Mechanical Age. Long-time fans will appreciate most of the new graphics and the freedom of movement as they revisit familiar Ages, while new players can finally experience this revolutionary game on modern computers.

It’s good to be back on Myst. Some advice to new players: Tread carefully in these Ages, and examine EVERTHING! Take care.
