My mom loved playing this when I was a kid. She had pages and pages of notes, and I loved watching her play, even though I had no idea what was happening. Hearing these sound effects and seeing these environments is unlocking so much nostalgia, I’m getting kinda misty eyed :’)
Playing this as a child I was ABSOLUTELY convinced at some point someone was going to jump out from around one of those corners in a hallway and scare the living shit out of me.
Same here, this game scared the crap out of me as a kid and I have no clue why. It's sort of ominous and just plain weird, but it doesn't really present itself as a horror game or anything. I could never figure out how to get anywhere or what I was supposed to do, so I would just go around clicking stuff until I got lucky enough for something to happen lol... But I was always afraid something was going to pop out because it's so desolate and empty.
Dude, back then, the whole family got in on the action. It was seen as a mainstream puzzle type game for the PC generation, so everybody got in on it. I think it took my Dad and my Mom and my older brother like a month to finally finish the thing. My dad was being an especially gigantic nerd about it.
Hell, I'm 53 so I was in my late teens, early 20's when I played this and still never got that far. I got off the main island but didn't have a clue what I was doing!
I know right, I was 14 when I first got this game and the puzzles were way beyond my comprehension, but the game intrigued me so much! luckily the game come packaged with the strategy guide, without it I would have had no hope.
It took me a year to complete Myst when I was a kid, and back in those days I had to call up my mate on his home phone in the evenings to talk about ideas on solving puzzles...Those were the days
Cause it's boring lol. When I was a kid I didn't get it either, but that's because it's so unintuitive and slow it's really tough to WANT to comprehend.
oh my god the nostalgia at the opening credits, rushing back home from school to play this game, hardly knowing what was going on but feeling like i was on another world
It blows my mind that such a niche game sold six million copies. I was a baby in the 90s and my family bought its first computer in 2001. To realize millions of people had played this years before gives me a unique feel of the time that you just don't read about these days
Oh I loved Myst but I just don't have the time now to watch the 2-hour long walk through but thank you I've added it to my all-time favorites just classic video game you can see every video game nowadays is basically just an augmentation of this in my opinion
I was like wait, I think I saw you before from a car crash compilation video. I was searching for that video again for 30 minutes and Im glad, you have the top comment. Its funny how random people can end up in the same place in the internet. Hmm.
@@matthewlake182 Try Obduction...I'm not sure if Myst will translate well in VR. EDIT: scratch that, I have just seen the VR remake, it looks pretty impressive!
I remember trying to play this as a child. The graphics looked amazing but when it came to what the hell you were supposed to do... well you'll have to ask someone else because I never did figure it out.
I played this as a kid, which is wild, because I was born in early 2000's. This game opened up my love of puzzles and escape games. Glad to finally find gameplay of it!
You make this look so easy. I remember throwing the disk right out my bedroom window once out of pure fustration, then going out to find it. one day I will play this again and complete it.
Ah childhood! This game used to creep me the heck out because, 1. There is no one on the island, but it is to man made for no one to be there. 2. This is how an island would sound if you were trapped on it. Very few places have music.
Back in the early days of PC gaming - in the early to mid 90s - the PC games shelf would be like maybe 8 games, and then there was software. That was it. And it was basically this game, Doom, Sim City, and Descent.
Pre-watch comment: I remember how mind blowing this game was when it came out. Not only for its presentation but the story was amazing as well. They really stretched the boundaries to make this happen on a PC and it was an amazing experience. I was tempted to play again in the present but decided to watch this playthrough instead.
Taking videos from other channels and reposting them in full is generally frowned upon. I appreciate you giving credit to my channel, but you still reposted the entire thing completely unedited which I'm frankly not okay with. EDIT: No, I'm not "butthurt" over this, in fact the people who are accusing me of that seem like they're the ones who got offended. I am a little peeved that the algorithm decided to prioritize this video over mine but that's just the way it is. I still believe though that what the uploader did is tacky though. Feel free to disagree, but I think a lot of you are reading way too deep into what I wrote.
I would do that, but the main reason I haven't is because...in all technicality, it's not really my copyright. I didn't make the game and I showed a good chunk of it completely unedited.
It's a dick move, though. I was looking for gameplay videos on the game and I found this before I found yours. Probably wouldn't even know about the issue if I didn't look at the comments.
Love this game, figuring things out..... the graphics blew me away. I must have played this game for months. Thanks zoo much for this wonderful experience.
My dad was never able to complete this game. When I was a kid, he got me a remastered copy so I could try it out... And I got stuck too haha. However, we both sat down to play this game for an evening and managed to finish this game after a few more. It was a lot of fun, and now we are starting to slowly cruise through Riven.
Some of you say you were disappointed only to find a PIANO in the blimp but.....THAT PIANO WAS THE COOLEST THING EVER! A piano that you could play WITHIN a game? Was I the only one that was fascinated by the piano? lol
I remember watching my dad figure out and beat this game when I was a kid. I didn't really understand much of the puzzle part but the world and story seemed interesting. The red and blue guy freaked me out though and it was kind of creepy going around a lonely world as a kid.
There's a way to tell whom you should trust. Sirrus and Achenar have each said the same thing: that one brother wrongly imprisoned the other. If that were really so, one of them would be free instead of being locked up like the other. The only way they could each make that same statement is if they were *both* lying. Therefore, when you find the green book that Atrus is stuck in, it's obvious that the *real* answer is that he, not Sirrus or Achenar, is the one to trust.
Try The witness, it was deeply inspired by Myst, it happens in a very big Island with beautiful landscapes and ideas and again with 0 intructions of what to do next LOL.
My brother had this game when we were little and it absolutely terrified me, I’d only get as far as the first few puzzles before being too creeped out !! Amazing to see it again though , reminds me of my childhood
This game has the best memories for me! My whole family (me at age 6 or so) would gather around our chunky ass desktop and try to figure the game out together. My uncle out of state would play on his own and we’d discuss the story. When it was time to end the game for the night I couldn’t wait to play more, but I had to wait cuz I was too scared to play on my own. XD I adore the spooky atmosphere and foreboding music, but my young self couldn’t handle it. My current self still gets the feeling that something is gonna pop out, lol. To this day I constantly see things that remind me of Myst and Riven, and make me want to play again! All I can say is, share quality entertainment with your kids, especially while they’re young, cuz there’s a good chance it’ll stay with them for the rest of their lives! Challenge them with more adult things like Myst in addition to kid things! :3
I loved this game, never had the time to get fully committed to learn the whole game, this video is priceless for me to watch, brings back so many memories from when times were so hard
This brings back so many memories. My dad played with on our desktop PC 20 years ago. I was too young and impatient to stick with it. I think I’m going to give it another shot.
I loved playing this game on my Sega Saturn when I was a teenager. What made it a little difficult for me was the fact that I didn't speak english well back then. Even so, the enviroment of the game was so amazing and I used to spend hours and hours trying to solve the puzzles.
I remember bringing this game home back in 95 or 96. Back when you still went and bought software/games in shrink wrapped boxes actually on the shelf at the store :). I guess it had been out for a couple of years by then, but I had just bought my very first PC and the first computer I had owned for 6 or 7 years. (IBM type...I had 8 bit Atari computers back in the 80's). I remember being immediately drawn in by this game and spent several days finishing it. I went on to buy/finish Riven when it came out the next year as well, but got away from too much gaming after that and never played Myst III or beyond(didn't even really know more existed until recently :)). I have been programming computers and playing computer games since 1979 when we got our first Atari 8 bit computer and I was 8 years old. Every so often a game comes along that feels like a generational marker, or a flag on the timeline of important gaming progress. Myst was definitely one of these games.
I've recently come across some older games like this, Atlantis and Lighthouse, after watching a TH-cam video and some google searches. I absolutely love the look of these games. They have such a particular charm and almost haunting beauty. Because they're so old and so fa removed from what games look like today, it's almost as if I've discovered some abandonware.
Myst was the first video game I ever played. Have never liked anything as much as I did this game. I remember playing this game endlessly for weeks until I finally finished. Would get so caught up in it, then realize it was 4 a.m. !
Thanks for posting. Myst takes me back to good days when computers where just home computers. I never owned the game but always saw it at Circuit City or Best Buy (remember those was before e-commerce).
This brings back memories of the 90s. I think it was '94 when I got this on my 486. I had to buy a separate CD ROM reader just so I can play this thing, and it didn't disappoint. Thanks for uploading!
Such a classic. I remember playing this as a kid and not knowing how to solve a majority of the puzzles. I ended up painfully brute forcing a majority of them due to my desire to see more of the world.
I distinctly remember the constant foreboding nature of the game..not knowing WTF was going on half the time...I about crapped my pants the first time I encountered the video pod at 46:37 when I was younger.
I have fond memories of this as a kid, who at the time could not understand a word of English. I just button smashed my way through and did not get far. When my neighbour borrowed the game and gave it back I was amazed at the new locations he managed to reach!
Thanks for the upload! This was included on my first ever PC. a 1997 gateway 2000 with a blazing fast Pentium 133 processor. Never bothered to get very far into the game, because I bought the PC for one reason only, to get online and trade stocks.
crunk4124 I agree like for fucks sake shut up I just want to get past a certain part not hear your unfunny jokes Lets players are the cancer of youtube
Wegra? How exactly? It's not hard at all to find a video that's a walkthrough over a lets play, but people watch lets plays for the lets player, so the game is second as a result. If you watch a lets play to see just a game, then it's your own damn fault...
I’m watching you fly through this game and I still don’t understand what the hell youre doing... some of the puzzles make no sense at all... how does someone even figure out all this stuff lol
thanks so much for the upload! i used to play this with my dad- well, i was pretty young so he did most of the playing. still, as a kid who loved fantasy i thought all this was just the coolest.
I think anyone learning 3D modeling (like I now am) should take a look back at Myst. Some of the stuff has not aged well (look at those trees and absurdly tiny FMVs) but this still defined what "good CGI" looked like for nearly a decade. And I don't mean "good for a game," I mean I saw news coverage on TV of this game as a kid because it blew people away that much when it was released. It probably wasn't until the Xbox and PS2 era that console hardware could fully render an environment like this for you to move around freely in, and in retrospect a lot of the griminess and dirt-and-mud textures of that console generation's "realistic" CGI still don't look as appealing as most of this game, pre-rendered or not.
Myst perfectly fulfills the "less is more" principle. Even in the areas that are lacking by today's standards, I would say Myst still looks better than many real-time games of today. The closer you get to photorealism, the stronger the uncanny valley is. Myst is surreal enough it's easy to suspend disbelief imo
Thank you so much for posting this. I'm reliving my childhood. I remember playing this game with my Dad while I sat in his lap. I miss our old Mac and all the cool games we had on it like Prince of Persia 1 and 2, Wrath of the Gods and Out of This World. I am certain this game is responsible for my interest in ambient music because of its intriguing ambient sounds and music.
Oh man, I can still remember those evenings after school, trying my best to discover every clue and sheet of the books! I was maybe 10 or 11 when I met this game, my dad gave it for xmas! It's nice to find out tha actually I wasn't that bad at playing it, even if I never finished the story.... I traveled in time with this vid, tks for this!
This was the first computer game I ever bought. I spent the better part of a year on and off with this game w/o completing it. Then in high school I met a (now) good friend that had also played this. He'd solved puzzles I hadn't and vice versa. Together we finally completed the game. Had to be roughly 1995-96 time frame. Lots of nostalgia here. "Ahh! You've returned! And the page? Did you bring the page?...... The page my friend the page....."
Ive been looking for the name of this book/game series FOR 11 YEARS. i remember reading this 3rd grade as a class, then my teacher playee the game on the projector. I hadn't been able to find it for years, I'm so excited omg.
I remember being a lil boy, I went shopping with my family at the supermarket, there was a section at the store that had LPs (yes, I was a kid back when LPs were still a thing) and also magazines, one of the magazines had this game on the cover. I spent a good chunk growing up puzzled on what this game was all about. I didn't had a computer until I turned 18. This is a memory of my early childhood I still can recall.
Playing this in '92 for while , i was so utterly bored that i didn't touch any game till in the final weeks of '98 , when i received Unreal with an audio card : six great years thanx to this game . . . But even after almost 30 years , i still click a thumbnail when i see this title , and _this_ playthrough is highly entertaining 👍
I loved this game! I spent hours upon hours playing it. I solved it myself.It was 1995 at the time. No internet to cheat on. I feel proud to have accomplished the game with my own smarts.Not an easy game to solve at all. I rock!
@@intertubicular .playing at night..taking notes... drinking coffee..smoking a little bit of weed(not too much, had to concentrate). What helped me is that i read all 4 books in the library at least twice before eagerly try to solved it and get into all the other ages.

@@grizzlywhisker I definitely feel like this falls under the liminal space category
Beating this game without help should earn you a degree
Are you challenging me?
Definitely. It should be the new IQ test!
I did it when I was 11, I just don't remember how.
Dude, back then, the whole family got in on the action. It was seen as a mainstream puzzle type game for the PC generation, so everybody got in on it. I think it took my Dad and my Mom and my older brother like a month to finally finish the thing. My dad was being an especially gigantic nerd about it.
5 minutes in and youre farther than i ever got as a 6 year old
yeah lol. Myst was my first game. And it was/is so awsome, in past and also today. Now I'm 35. XD
I'm 60yo and never finished the game
Hell, I'm 53 so I was in my late teens, early 20's when I played this and still never got that far.
I got off the main island but didn't have a clue what I was doing!
I know right? My mother played this when I was a little kid and I just couldn't get through any of it lmfao.
LOLOLOL so true. This game was hard.
How anybody figured this game out on their own without any outside help is beyond me.
That was the fun part.
If you think this is hard, check out the sequel, “Riven.” It’s damn near impossible.
I know right, I was 14 when I first got this game and the puzzles were way beyond my comprehension, but the game intrigued me so much! luckily the game come packaged with the strategy guide, without it I would have had no hope.
It was fun. 7th guest was a hard one to figure out.
brings me back to a time when walkthroughs were ALL text.
It took me a year to complete Myst when I was a kid, and back in those days I had to call up my mate on his home phone in the evenings to talk about ideas on solving puzzles...Those were the days
I could never play this game too long. It gave me a claustrophobia type a feel. Felt like i was close to unlocking a terrible creature.
For posting this comment, you unlocked Cthulhu!
Thanos appears in the game
Oooooh that'd be a good concept
Same! Totally terrified me as a kid
the game certainly had a unique feeling of darkness, but also elegance to it also. it scared me as a child too. such a unique game.
I played this when I was 6 and was absolutely CLUELESS
Cause it's boring lol. When I was a kid I didn't get it either, but that's because it's so unintuitive and slow it's really tough to WANT to comprehend.
I was 15 and in the same position, lol. A Game this puzzling was beyond anything I experienced back in the mid 90s
44 and still have no clue
Fucking same. I never had a clue at all.
absolute facts
oh my god the nostalgia at the opening credits, rushing back home from school to play this game, hardly knowing what was going on but feeling like i was on another world
True story: I remember that I resolve one of the puzzles while dreaming, then I woke up at 3 am to do it. I was so into that I dreamed so often.
lol great!
I could totally see that happening.

Thanks for posting. Myst takes me back to good days when computers where just home computers. I never owned the game but always saw it at Circuit City or Best Buy (remember those was before e-commerce).
the graphics boggled my mynd at the time, was in 2nd grade
This game is still an experience, despite the outdated graphics.
Who’s back here after they heard that the oculus quest is getting a Vr Myst
This brings back memories of the 90s. I think it was '94 when I got this on my 486. I had to buy a separate CD ROM reader just so I can play this thing, and it didn't disappoint. Thanks for uploading!
My brother played this back in 2000 on a Windows 98 PC.
The Channelwood age caught my attention the most.
Takes me a back to a very happy time. Thank you.
Such a classic. I remember playing this as a kid and not knowing how to solve a majority of the puzzles. I ended up painfully brute forcing a majority of them due to my desire to see more of the world.
I enjoyed playing it,and watching this has brought back memories
Ok
I had this when i was 8..it use to scare the shit out of me
same for me, i remember having myst-fueled nightmares
dude the log cabin freaked me out a lot.....and the witch's pot near the Ship. I had this in 1994
I was always glad no one ever jumped out to scare me ...but I still expected it.
I distinctly remember the constant foreboding nature of the game..not knowing WTF was going on half the time...I about crapped my pants the first time I encountered the video pod at 46:37 when I was younger.
Used to think I was going to get sucked in the game
I was always intrigued by this game and the storyline which I still don't fully understand.
I have fond memories of this as a kid, who at the time could not understand a word of English. I just button smashed my way through and did not get far. When my neighbour borrowed the game and gave it back I was amazed at the new locations he managed to reach!
Thanks for the upload! This was included on my first ever PC. a 1997 gateway 2000 with a blazing fast Pentium 133 processor. Never bothered to get very far into the game, because I bought the PC for one reason only, to get online and trade stocks.
Finishing this game was like trying to solve a level 6 cast puzzle on ecstasy
Good lord. I was a teenager when i played, and 30 years later im 20 minutes into this . Beautiful
Me too
I just want to thank you for leaving out a voice-over. Some people are the worst, and I'm glad you are not.
Yeah glad someone says it ...
too many people put themselves FIRST before showing what people truly came for...
crunk4124 I agree like for fucks sake shut up I just want to get past a certain part not hear your unfunny jokes
Lets players are the cancer of youtube
Wegra? How exactly? It's not hard at all to find a video that's a walkthrough over a lets play, but people watch lets plays for the lets player, so the game is second as a result. If you watch a lets play to see just a game, then it's your own damn fault...
yes and some ppl talk so much you cant hear the video; very annoying
@@crunk4124 you know he stole the video right?
The main gripe I had with games like this was their interface. It was very difficult to make out what could be interacted with.
I’m watching you fly through this game and I still don’t understand what the hell youre doing... some of the puzzles make no sense at all... how does someone even figure out all this stuff lol
Probably takes a broken man haha. Surprised he was able to do it all
He wasn't even the one who did it. This entire playthrough was stolen from someone else's channel. :P
played this game in late 1997, it frustrated the fuck outta me! great memories tho haha
thanks so much for the upload! i used to play this with my dad- well, i was pretty young so he did most of the playing. still, as a kid who loved fantasy i thought all this was just the coolest.
same here me was my older cousin sweet memory of a game i never finished
The original Myst island has such a dense redwood forest. Why do all the remakes strip it down to only a scattering of trees?
I think anyone learning 3D modeling (like I now am) should take a look back at Myst. Some of the stuff has not aged well (look at those trees and absurdly tiny FMVs) but this still defined what "good CGI" looked like for nearly a decade. And I don't mean "good for a game," I mean I saw news coverage on TV of this game as a kid because it blew people away that much when it was released. It probably wasn't until the Xbox and PS2 era that console hardware could fully render an environment like this for you to move around freely in, and in retrospect a lot of the griminess and dirt-and-mud textures of that console generation's "realistic" CGI still don't look as appealing as most of this game, pre-rendered or not.
Myst perfectly fulfills the "less is more" principle. Even in the areas that are lacking by today's standards, I would say Myst still looks better than many real-time games of today. The closer you get to photorealism, the stronger the uncanny valley is. Myst is surreal enough it's easy to suspend disbelief imo
Thank you so much for posting this. I'm reliving my childhood. I remember playing this game with my Dad while I sat in his lap. I miss our old Mac and all the cool games we had on it like Prince of Persia 1 and 2, Wrath of the Gods and Out of This World. I am certain this game is responsible for my interest in ambient music because of its intriguing ambient sounds and music.
Phantasmagoria as well! Played them all.
@@Yoliplanting Woooooow Phantasmagoria now that´s a flashback!!!
And now: NEW MYST IN VR COMING OUT SOON!
That would be awesome
tbh I'm considering getting an Oculus just for this game
It’s awesome!
Oh man, I can still remember those evenings after school, trying my best to discover every clue and sheet of the books! I was maybe 10 or 11 when I met this game, my dad gave it for xmas! It's nice to find out tha actually I wasn't that bad at playing it, even if I never finished the story.... I traveled in time with this vid, tks for this!
14:09 the Mech Age book music, forever burned into my brain and still gives me chills after all these years
Yup...that one and the music in the imager chamber next to the dock.
@@abraxasvoice440 yes, first place I went to when I first got the game- instantly knew this was going to be an awesome game
omfg lmao this is sooo much faster than my computer back in the 90s
ty so much for the upload just here to watch for nostalgia
This game used to creep tf out of me.
The music in this game is incredible.
MAN, this takes me back... Best HyperCard stack ever.
OMG... the frustration... and the exitement... was it really that long ago? Yes it was...
Thank you for completing my childhood.
This was the first computer game I ever bought. I spent the better part of a year on and off with this game w/o completing it. Then in high school I met a (now) good friend that had also played this. He'd solved puzzles I hadn't and vice versa. Together we finally completed the game. Had to be roughly 1995-96 time frame. Lots of nostalgia here.
"Ahh! You've returned! And the page? Did you bring the page?...... The page my friend the page....."
Thanks, would never have made it to completion without this guide.
Back when the internet was wide open ah these young kids have no idea how great it was
The atmosphere and ambience of this game is unmatched. Exploring and interacting with this world gave me the creeps when I was a kid 😅
This is a total blast from the past for me. Radical.
Ive been looking for the name of this book/game series FOR 11 YEARS. i remember reading this 3rd grade as a class, then my teacher playee the game on the projector. I hadn't been able to find it for years, I'm so excited omg.
The fact that anyone figured this out on his own is amazing.
I remember being a lil boy, I went shopping with my family at the supermarket, there was a section at the store that had LPs (yes, I was a kid back when LPs were still a thing) and also magazines, one of the magazines had this game on the cover. I spent a good chunk growing up puzzled on what this game was all about. I didn't had a computer until I turned 18. This is a memory of my early childhood I still can recall.
I had this game in the 90s. I never did finish the game.
Thanks for the walk through. I’m too lazy to do the actual game but I enjoy the scenery and effects.
Im like damn what?
Bomb gaza
Playing this in '92 for while , i was so utterly bored that i didn't touch any game till in the final weeks of '98 , when i received Unreal with an audio card : six great years thanx to this game . . .
But even after almost 30 years , i still click a thumbnail when i see this title , and _this_ playthrough is highly entertaining 👍
I loved this game! I spent hours upon hours playing it. I solved it myself.It was 1995 at the time. No internet to cheat on. I feel proud to have accomplished the game with my own smarts.Not an easy game to solve at all. I rock!
I solved it myself too...it took me like 3 months.
@@abraxasvoice440 I was totally hooked. I got stuck on certain puzzles for days.I never gave up and ultimately finished the game. It was a conquest!!!
@@intertubicular .playing at night..taking notes... drinking coffee..smoking a little bit of weed(not too much, had to concentrate). What helped me is that i read all 4 books in the library at least twice before eagerly try to solved it and get into all the other ages.
@@abraxasvoice440 Good job! I wish they would make a MYST for 2020
@@intertubicular . we dont need to!!! They've already made a myst masterpiece edition and a 360% degree Real Myst game!! Both are really good!!
I never figured this game out as a child. Wonderful graphics but the concept was so confusing
when this came out on PC...amazing!
