 A must-have classic! October 19, 2009
Victoria Meszaros (Edmonton, AB Canada)
I recently decided to go back and play the entire Myst series from the beginning, starting with this set. I had never played Myst before this, though I had an inkling of how the game played. Well, I have completed all three of the games now, and what an experience! I loved these games, Riven especially.
One issue that some people may worry about is compatibility with Windows Vista. This will run fine on Windows XP or a Mac as far as I can tell. I had to struggle with it a little until I figured out the trick. Since I think everyone should play these games, if you have Vista and want this to run:
1. Install the game normally (I installed them one at a time).
2. Uninstall any Quicktime version that is on your computer. It is free to get Quicktime off the internet so you can get it afterwards. This game uses Quicktime as a major component, and newer versions of Quicktime just don't really work.
3. Install the Quicktime that comes with the DVD for each respective game (Quicktime 6.__, I believe).
4. Run the game. You do NOT need to run it in compatibility mode, as it will give errors if you do.
Another word of advice: Save often. These games are a little unstable, though I had a minimal amount of problems. They are still very much playable, and WELL WORTH THE MONEY!
If you are having trouble with the Myst games at first, just keep at it. Unraveling the mysteries and puzzles and exploring this beautiful world is such a reward for a little frustration and confusion. Experiment too, because each game has a few endings (only one is the -right- ending, but you can see the other cinematics too - save often!).
The images are stunning (especially considering when these were made), the puzzles are engaging, the soundtrack is FANTASTIC, and the storyline twists and turns in intriguing ways. If you have the chance, I recommend listening to the game with headphones, because it is a lot more immersive. I literally had a shiver run up my spine during certain parts because of the music.
If you enjoy these games, I would recommend the rest of the Myst games as well, though I have not gotten to Uru yet (but have heard great things about it).
I hope that my review was helpful. Enjoy!

I received the three dvd games and am unable to play the first two do to how hold of a system you must have.
I am in the middle of the last dvd but was hoping to play from start to finish...maybe someday they will update it for us oldies who enjoy a good puzzle.
 Attention Mac users -- DO NOT BUY THIS! August 31, 2009

So I read other reviews saying they had trouble getting this to work on their Mac, but the dang box says that it's for Mac! I figured that it must be a user error. Not the case. This will not work on your Mac if you have a recent version of the operating system. It's really sad that a game that was made on the Mac and would look beautiful on a Macbook Pro is incompatible. Hey Amazon! Change the description of this product! It's extremely frustrating.

I played myst on the i phone with my dad. It was very fun!!!! when i saw this i was excited. I have only played myst but Ive seen the others. They all look fun. i hope this will work with my XP. My dad told me that this game comes with a compatibility mode. The myst games will work on there. he said. you cant do anything but play myst in compatibility mode. i hope this helped. hears what i think of the myst.
myst- the one Ive played. i know about the cheat to complete it in a matter of minutes. but its fun. DON'T DO THE CHEAT. it ruins the game. its fun if you do all the ages. creepy in some places skeleton on a cross. feels like someone going to jump out. and a Indian guy who bellows at you
enjoy myst!!!!
