Yeah, whatever graphics stuff we have is stock. The only thing we've ever replaced in our computer is the modem card. All right, I'll talk to my father about getting a new graphics card. Not just for this game, though - we got Civ 4 recently, and there have been some strange comeuppances with the graphics - for instance, when you talk to the leaders of other nations, you don't see anything other than their eyes and teeth, which actually proves to be a very amusing diplomatic exchange.


I've never even heard of a series of Myst books; I'll look into it if it seems promising at all. As far as Uru is concerned, it's supposed to take place about 200 years after Myst, and apparently was just a side-story. They released Uru before Myst 4, and it seems to be just a sidetrack thing continuing a part of the story that the original Myst series abandoned (the D'ni civilization).


Also, I'm glad I'm not the only one who had to take notes to solve the Myst puzzles. Never learned pieces of the language, though (not that I didn't try).

Spike:
I remember one particular puzzle inside of something that looked like a rocket ship.  You had to match the tones you heard somewhere else on the island.  As an almost tonedeaf 7 year old is was a most infuriating puzzle from hell.  I've never really looked into the rest of the Myst games, mainly because I don't know if I have the conviction to finish them, and I don't feel that it is a game you could leave sitting for two to three months and then come back to.  

On a seperate note, Civilization 4 was surprisingly taxing as far as system specs go.  Oh well, progress comes at a price.

FreshJive787:
one of my favorite games of all time. riven was the best of the series in my personal opinion.

Luke:
Personally, I think Myst < Riven < Exile. Exile was just f'n fun - especially the Amateria island. I saved Amateria for last the second time I played through Exile because I remembered liking that age so much.

The rocketship tone puzzle was probably the easiest thing in Myst for me to do, but that's because I'm a freak and have near-perfect pitch. In fact, I think I still remember the tone sequence.

C - G - Bb (high) - F - Bb (low)

My father and I used to play the first game together... believe it or not that game scared me at times (I was only 10 or something at the time)
