I’ve played this through in all of its many versions. I even have the box for Myst and realMyst!

This is one of my all-time favorite games. I have beaten it a few times as well as the rest of the Myst games.

I’m new, so I haven’t seen the names of other badges, but I’m guessing calling it the “Myst” badge is out? Here are some suggestions:
Linking Book Badge
Atrus Badge
D’Ni Badge (though this would better fit with a later game in the series)

Myst is great. One of my favorite games ever, in company with Link’s Awakening and (later) Outer Wilds. More recently, because I’m a crazy person, I ran Windows 3.11 in a dosbox instance so I could play Myst with my son using my original CD.

Badge, please. :slight_smile:

This reminds me that I completed Myst for the first time last year. Can I have the badge too? :slight_smile:

To be honest I did not enjoy it that much. I understand why it’s a classic and why people love it, but it feels very outdated. There were too many moments where I couldn’t orient myself or figure out what to do. But I might try the sequels someday, I’m still a bit curious.

Orientation is definitely an issue in the original Myst. It’s a bit easier in RealMyst, to the point where it somewhat trivializes the game.

Riven definitely feels more modern in its environment design; but there is no “RealRiven”; so it can still get disorienting for sure.

I recommend Obduction for people who want to play a Myst-like game built for free-look. It’s probably the most like Myst IV: Revelation, if I was to compare it to one of the series.

Or, if you’re more into the lock-and-key adventure-game style puzzles, we also really enjoyed Quern.

In fact, we did a podcast episode about it. (Beware: spoilers.)
