Even though Myst is six or so years old as I write this review, it's a daunting task to contemplate. It's daunting because this title takes the prize for being one of the best selling computer games ever, and it also holds the esteemed honour of being the single game that introduced a whole wave of new players to the delights of adventure games. At its advanced age it is still readily available in most computer game outlets and was recently distributed as a bonus offer along with the Legend title, John Saul's BlaMyst is a game of transient lands and of lonely exploration, discovery, and puzzle solving. Although the graphics are no longer state-of-the-art (they don't have the detail and clarity of Red Orb's latest offering, Riven) they still hold that magic and create a poignant 'other worldly' atmosphere where everything is mystical and mysterious. The eerie music heightens this atmosphere, as does the isolation and emptiness. Though there are no fancy transitions, only still landscapes to explore, the fascination hasn't fadedckstone Chronicles
