      I remembered a few bits and pieces but had to look it up. I do remember that this was in the epilogue of the Myst novel. Did a book report on it and i quoted the lines at the end of my presentation. Sniff!

    "I realized the moment I fell into the fissure that the book would not be destroyed as I had planned. It continued falling into that starry expanse, of which I had only a fleeting glimpse. I have tried to speculate where it might have landed, but I must admit such conjecture is futile. Still, questions about whose hands might one day hold my Myst book are unsettling to me. I know my apprehensions might never be allayed, and so I close, realizing that perhaps the ending has not yet been written"

    Love that intro music. I remember I struggled to understand what he was saying as a child - I thought he said "fingertips" instead of "fleeting glimpse" - but I learned several new words simultaneously! Really sets the mood for the game, and influenced me so much that when I go walking alone in nature I always have that curious adventurer mindset, always looking for clues and whatnot!

    Man I loved how they connected Myst to Riven. The fact that it was actually you, the player, who fell into the fissure at the end of Riven. You are the one who gets linked away so your former self can begin at the beginning. Man such storytelling. I love these games. I have all 5 plus Uru and every now and then enjoy a walk through the ages. I still have my original note pad with all the notes from the first game in my desk. The memories from this game are jsut endless.

    With cult games it's always the opening, or how you get transported into these worlds. The original Bioshock and Half Life 1 or Myst, I remember it was the very first minutes of these games I realized it'll be a future classic.

    The closest you will likely ever see Myst (the first game) itself adapted to the 'screen' would be LOST actually, which is in some respects Myst: The TV show. Updated for the 21st century of course (instead of 19th for Myst) and with a whole group of strangers. And minus linking books and ages.
    I still watching to see how the Myst Movie team makes out. Here's hoping they enjoy great success.

  • @JosephPage
    @JosephPage 16 лет назад +1

    It's crazy that every sound effect I heard in this game made me chicken of it even though my Dad helped me. Then again, the same goes for reality. I even resisted going to worship at church, and look at me now, I keep my ears open all the time! Must be growing up. I just hate being surrounded by incredibly loud sound, although I scared MYSELF by thinking that even though there was no sound in one part of a movie, I thought there was by cranking it way up.

    What would make for a more interesting film would be some of the back-story.

  • @machiner6
    @machiner6 15 лет назад

    Athough U may not know this, but just before Riven came out, a defunct game company, "Rocket Science" produced a dream-oriented game called "OBSIDIAN", and placed a MYST joke in one of its levels. Namely, the falling Myst book, and an actor quote: "Bring me the blue pages...", both on a robot TV, AKA "vidbot". ;) I think Vidbots may come in handy for certain industries where personnel can't physically come there, ever.

  • @spacehelmetforacow
    @spacehelmetforacow 17 лет назад +1

    if it wasn't for Gehn, the MYST series wouldn't have started!
    while on riven, Atrus got away from Gehn by jumping INTO the star fissure (gehn was trying to get the myst book.), and using a linking book to get away. the myst book, rather then being destroyed, floated through the fissure and eventually ended up on earth, and viola! the game series started.

PS: The only Myst things I truly want aren't the games of 1-3, but a fancy-shmancy journal from the "Ages of Myst" pack + a Squee doll from Exile masterpiece 2003, that's all.

    This game was out before I could read, yet I coudln't help but be drawn to it. Sadly, because I couldn't read, I didn't really get anywhere. Despite being able to read today, however, I still haven't beaten it yet. RealMyst has a tendency to crash, and the original disk's version (which I do own) software is too primitive to run on my computer.
    Unfortunately, by the time I had my own job, my own computer, etc the other disks weren't made anymore. I may never know how the rest of the story goes.

    I agree with you on most accounts, although I was under a different impression for the source of the rift. As I understand it, Gehn wrote the Age of Riven, or at least wrote *in* it... but he wasn't the best writer. The fissure opened due to contradictions in his writing. At the beginning of Riven, and the end of Myst, Atrus is seen writing in the book of Riven, to attempt to keep it stable.

    I would like to see a film of Myst, but I do wonder how it would translate to screen. Would it be shot from the first person? In which case, it's too much like the game. If we see the stranger, it ruins his/her mystery.
    Also, the film would need to be 40 hours long.

    In a more direct answer to your problems...
    A. The starry expanse within the fissure is not meant to be outer space. It is meant to be an unexplained, non-detailed expanse almost -between- linking itself. It is a portal written into one of the books through a change in the writing by Atrus. It does have an oxygen atmosphere, or so it would seem, and gravity as well. B. The "planets" (ages) are scattered throughout the infinite universe... they revolve around different stars.
