As much as I enjoy Myst, this is rather insubstantial. I'm not really tempted to click that at all.
Anyway, I'm still waiting for Mysterium to come to the Midwest. :P
Apparently it is a Myst convention? Is Myst really something you can have a convention for? Buy some Myst apparel, bootleg Myst dvds, Myst candy, Myst porn? I kind of doubt it. In fact it sounds like a really boring convention.
I never asked for this!
I also remember when Zork was hot shit.
- They have myst porn, it's called a flipbook, isn't it?

Wow.. I can't imagine 130 people wanting to get together and have a Myst convention.. One wonders why they don't just go play Myst.
I never asked for this!
I remember playing Oregon Trail on the Apple II. That was the best version of the game.

Zork it was not.
I joined in 2003 and have around 300 posts.
I don't post here often, just lerk a lot.
Riven came on 8 fucking CDs. I remember that blew me away.
Oh man, I love me some Myst. Even though I was too young to beat the first 2 without a guide. Myst 3 is the best of them all, because the puzzles made fucking sense. But I still love them all I LOVE THEM ALL OM NOM NOM NOM
What version did you get? Mine only has 4 or 5. :P
So, what does one even do at a Myst convention? Do they fill the hall with random odds and ends, then seal everyone in with some sort of obscure, impractical lock?
edit: eight cds? Bwa? The copy I borrowed had like one for each island.
I got the extended edition.
Zork is fucking awesome and holds up pretty well if my memory serves me right from my play through of Zork: Grand Inquisitor a two years back.
I'm not talking about that zork.
I still have this game. It's on three 5.25" floppies, and it came with a very kick ass manual, with this artwork on each disk:
The manual looks like a leather bound book. It's awesome.
He speaks of the installation CDs. Newer versions use a DVD.
Didn't Myst have like half a dozen characters, tops? What, do the rest dress as switch boards, runes, and books?
So, uh, is there a convention for Lighthouse as well? 'Cause that game rocks.
That was the only one I could do on my own. And then you get to Achenar's Room and shut the game off.
Myst can not have been that hard.
My mum completed it.
It can be beaten in less then 5 minutes if you know what you're doing.

GameTap pulled the plug on Myst Online: Uru Live a few months ago. I think because there weren't enough subscriptions or it wasn't making as much money as they had hoped. It had only been around for about a year, but at least GameTap gave it a chance (unlike Ubisoft, who pulled the plug after a month or two).
Ah well. It was fun while it lasted.
actually I had the PSX version.
I simply mis-remembered how many discs it came on.
Every Myst puzzle has an internal logic to it, and in the first game they actually weren't too hard to figure out. Like you see water flowing by a water wheel, and there's this pipe that leads away, so you follow the pipe and logically turn valves to lead the flow of water toward points of interest in order to power them.
Meanwhile in Zork you have to chase away the goblin by rubbing a jar to make a genie come out and scare him, and then you can get the cheeseburger that was behind him and go attack the gnome with it, and you find out afterwards that it defeated him because he was cheeseburger-intolerant.
Ah, didn't know that. I would have definitely played it but I already have a Gamefly account and couldn't financially justify a GameTap account, as well. A shame it's closed but kudos for them giving it a chance.
How do they cope with walking around and actually being able to interact with people?
I do believe it's about the only convention based on love of a video game, although the D'niverse is pretty damn extensive past that first game. S'bit like saying Middle Earth is only found in The Hobbit.
We get together, we socialize, we share theories, we show off our creations, we do stuff. This year has contests and games (including something that's starting to shape up to be a bit like the Omegathon, only more specialized), it's slowly evolving into having panels and discussions and such. Who knows, maybe someday we'll hit hundreds of people.
There might even be something to do with the Myst Movie this year...
I have a whole 30-something posts? Wow, I talk more than I thought.
