You never played interactive fiction games prior to Myst? There was plenty of thinking and problem solving in those games. It was certainly a huge graphical leap forward over the previous point-and-click adventure game, but I didn't feel it was particularly a qualitative jump in puzzle content.
- dylan604 1y agoI was wondering about the text based games myself while reading GP. Zork was nothing but a puzzle game that definitely did not require hand-eye coordination or any other skill set other than solving puzzles. That's what Myst was as well, only with pretty pictures
