The Myst series are probably one of the games that bring back so many memories. When my brother and I heard they were turning URU into an MMO we were pretty excited, but also scared that there wouldn't be a big enough user base. We were right, and the project 'died' . Then I told him they'd probably open-source it, and there we are!
I'm gonna play the MYST series again. Any programmer/hacker will love these series. they're a real classic brain cracker, and worth the play. You will get pulled into the myst worlds as if it are your own. it's so immerssive!
- martindale 13y agoAnother game that I feel doesn't get nearly enough credit is Douglas Adams' "Starship Titanic", which was built on the backstory of the book and came on a five-CD collection.
- henryaj 13y agoYes! Such a wonderful game - from the dry humour to bots' AI and the gorgeous art deco design of the ship itself. Although it's not exactly solvable without a walkthrough...
- mikeash 13y agoNitpick: the book was based on the game, rather than the other way around.
- Pxtl 13y agoAnd the book was written by Terry Jones (of Monty Python fame) and, to be honest, didn't measure up to Douglas Adams' writing. But who does?
- ninjin 13y agoFrom what I remember, it is rumoured that Terry Jones asked Douglas Adams for permission to be naked when writing the book.
- martindale 13y agoThat's incredible, I had no idea! I always thought the book was based on the book.
