The reward for (let's be honest) suffering through Myst is that you get to play the absolute joy of a game that is Riven, possibly the finest exploration/discov

  I didn't get very far with Myst. I really enjoyed Riven, however. Fantastic game. Right up until the penultimate puzzle, and it's a doozy that basically requires you to have paid careful attention to things along the way (my notes were mostly sufficient), and to not be red-green colorblind (wups, I am genetically screwed). I wrote in to support, and actually got a refund on the game.

    -I had the same issue, after cursing my bad luck I eventually got around to using a couple of coloured cellofan candy wrappers as colour filters. :)

  I've always loved worldbuilding and exploration in games and movies, and I'm pretty sure it was Riven that kicked that off for me. I was obsessed with D'ni stuff for awhile; knew all about base 5 numbering, read all the novels. I got a "making of" book about Riven, and I'd say that book is at least partially responsible for my interest in computer graphics and software development.

    (Spoilers) D'ni numbers are base 25, not base 5.
    • Brendinooo 7y ago
      To write numbers up to 25, the D'ni used a base-5 system.
