The Myst guys kind of get too obtuse sometimes. I think they have learned over the years to dial it back a little bit.
I would love to get through all the Myst games. Myst 4 looked pretty cool.
Myst, Real Myst, Uru, and Myst V are all by Cyan. Myst 3 is by Presto and Myst 4 is by Ubisoft.
They all did a really good job on the games, which is surprising.
I like the whole Myst series, but 4 is probably my least favorite, partly because it has some VERY obtuse puzzles in it, especially the last one. Even after reading the solution online I still didn't understand it. Myst 3 is good, it sets out for a more modest set of puzzles, so they're relatively simpler, but also easier to figure out. I still need to play through Uru. But if you want to get into Myst, I'd suggest starting from the first one, or one of its remakes.

I played through most of Real Myst. I just had to do the age with the rocket. I will have to see if I can find my save.
I may just have to start over. It has been so long ago.
I have played around the first half or quarter on some of the other games in the series, but never finished them.
Wasn't the rocket age one that they added later on? I remember something about that.
I got all the games on disc and gog from a Kickstarter they did a while back. Also with the Kickstarter, you get a prop Myst link book. It has an led screen in it that plays a video of Myst island.
I wish the book was smaller. Takes up allot of space for a prop. It has a hidden compartment that you can put the game discs in.

That was one Kickstarter that I wished I backed. I have so many great memories of playing Myst as a kid. So much so that I saved up to buy Riven when it came out. Never finished Riven since I got tired of swapping CDs every time I moved between areas.
One of these days I will tackle the entire series.

The thing is, they released Real Myst: Masterpiece Edition later on. So, that version is not on the discs.
It looks like gog gave it to me for free since I had the original Real Myst.
I guess I could stick it on a cheap usb stick and put it in one of the book compartments.

Yeah. People forget about the disc swapping on old games. That was annoying. Some PC games did not organize the discs right.
I had this one CDROM drive long ago that struggled to read discs. It was back when faster drives had dodgy technology. I think I downgraded to my old drive. This was like 20 years ago.
Turn my wrong thread comment into a new comment. Color me disappointed that GOG does not have any of the Rainbow Six games outside the original. They are on Steam though. Come on Ubi.
I am getting DMC4 ready for the PS3 emulator. I also got the DMC collection on the emulator. I should put the DMC remake on there too.
I will have to locate it. I think it is in the living room.
My old PSP 1001 battery was bulging. I ordered some batteries from Battery Mart. I will see if they work.
They seem more reputable than eBay. Probably actual quality batteries.
Edit: Sorry to offend those who would buy them. I was adding things up in my head and guess maybe it isn't overpriced? Cartridge and box for $60. Then patch and pin for another $39.99? With today's prices maybe that isn't that far fetched.
Yeah. They are acting like Atari games are collector's items. Not good. I would snatch up that Atari Flashback collection on the Switch before it gets pulled.
There is also that Activision Anthology released way back on the PC.
I found one on eBay for $10. There was this other one that looked like it had smeg on it.
I own this on the Kinect. If you like dancing games, especially things like Dance Central, and enjoy MJ’s music, you’ll love this. It is more difficult than you think but rather fun. Plus there are modes where you dance and sing and also multiplayer where it jumps to random People to wider dance or sing to compete or cooperate. I enjoyed it. The section where the choreographers break down the routines was great as well.

It sounded like they put allot of effort into. I don't know if this was after Jackson died or not.
What was that Beatles game? Beatles: Rock Band?
It was after he passed away, but the dancers and choreographers that performed with him and trained with him are who worked with Ubisoft to make this game. Makes it really authentic - at least as much as it can be without MJ himself.
And Beatles: Rock Band is amazing as well. My step father, who before he passed away was a huge Beatles fan, loved how they remastered the songs into stereo. Harmonix got the masters and were able To use them for this game and the quality really shows. Plus you can hear behind the scenes takes from the recording studios of the group. A well-done game.
Well, Rock Band lets you Use any guitar hero guitar, Outside of the one that didn’t have the five fret buttons and the strum bar. So if you have a guitar hero guitar, that would work. Otherwise, a controller doesn’t work for Rock Band Outside of when you use a microphone to play the singing role.
Ah, it looks like you can use regular controllers in place of Guitar Hero controllers in RPCS3.
I will probably play it that way.
Edit: That may be hard. You have to hold up to three buttons at once. Guitar Hero: Aerosmith lets you use a PS3 controller, so there is a way to do this.
The HDMI output has a filter on it, but it is not that bad. People blow it out of proportion. I wonder if the hack lets you switch it off.
I think they softened the pixels to make it look more like CRT output. People forget the pixels are intended to be a little blurry.

That was after going back to it a 2nd time when I was a kid.

And he still only got a B ^^'

Yeah. You can do that. It would have been better if solving an age unlocked part of a lock, like beating the bosses in Super Metroid.

DO YOU WISH THERE WAS A WAY TO NEVER SWAP DISCS AGAIN?

Oh yeah. Myst games are an exercise in patience. They also pulled that rollercoaster shit in Myst 4.
Definitely use the gog versions now. No CDs.
Mystery game.
It's impressive that they got George W Bush to record the voiceover for the narrator.
No, I don't wonder.

They're releasing more old games and charging a crazy amount. $99.99.

I guess the game has a Solo Tour mode. It seems unclear on the web.
Kinda lame if it doesn't.
I wonder if they have a compact guitar. That was why I was hoping you could play it on a controller like Guitar Hero.

Here is how it is setup.
Its bad scaling and no, not without hacks.
Increasing the resolution scale in PPSSPP generally works well enough.

They did blur the shit out of it.
