Myst is yet another cd game that has had rave reviews for the Apple Mac version and, consequently, been given a new lease of life on the pc. As cd adventures go, it's closer in style to what you would expect from a normal adventure game than most of the others. Titere's no hanging about watching endless video clips only to click the mouse a few times at the end of them. In Myst, interaction is the name of the game. Jolly good! So what about the rest of it? Well, it all begins when you stumble across a tatty old book.

The background

According to the intro, you have just found a book entitled Myst. As you flick through the pages, you read about a distant island world. Just as you lay your hand on the last page, your own world dissolves into blackness and you find yourself in the island world described in the book. With nothing else to do, off you go to explore the island. Er, that's about it for the plot really.

The game

You see the world of Myst from a first-person perspective viewpoint. Before you get all excited and start imagining super-smooth, 7th Guest type, multi-directional scrolling, I think there's something we should get straight from the start. Myst uses the static flick screen scrolling more common in rpgs than the freedom of movement you would expect from your average adventure game. If you want to move somewhere, you click the mouse where you want to go and, just like magic, you are instantly transported to a completely new screen. You don't really feel as though you've moved at all. It's just like blinking and opening your eyes to discover you are somewhere totally different.

As you can imagine, this doesn't do much for the game in the way of realism. As for the game itself, you spend your whole time wandering around the island solving lots of puzzles and unravelling the plot (with the help of all the clues left lying about everywhere). There are numerous switches to be activated and lots of loose pages with helpful info to be read. You have to work out pretty quickly what all the clues mean and start making progress or you'll just get hopelessly stuck and, as a result, bored to tears. The main reason you'll get bored is because there isn't anyone to talk to. Zipping about trying to work out how what you do in one place affects what happens in another is all very well, but it would really help the flow of the game if you could converse and interact with other characters. You sometimes feel like giving the game a good kicking just to liven it up.

Books, books and more books

It says something about the game that the most interesting location in it is probably the library. Hidden maps and switches are all over the place. There are also several books to read - if you have the patience. When you click on one of the books in the bookcase it opens up for you to read. You will find several accounts of the island's history in these and much clue-gathering can be done here. There is also a secret passage to be discovered which leads you to the tower. One of the objects in the library can be manipulated to affect the position of the tower. You then find yourself running back and forth, trying different things out and checking out what effect they've had on the tower. This is typical of the trial and error puzzle solving in Myst. It's not particularly irritating, it's just downright, bloody boring.The one thing I read about in the library that got me marginally excited was the existence of'monkey' people and an ancient old man. 1 never found them, but that's only because 1 couldn't be bothered to play it for more than a few hours to find out where they were and how to get there. There are other things which threaten to capture your attention too.

There's a smart-looking black leather chair that looks as though it doubles up as a time machine and a passage that leads to a rather decrepit-looking space ship. I'm sure I got the clues to make both of these work but they wouldn't. It's probably something simple I would have worked out if I'd persevered, but in the end I just lost all interest and gave up.

Much ado about nothing

Much has been made of this game in its Apple Mac incarnation. Reviewers from Mac magazines went positively potty over it: 'The most fascinating new game I've seen.' raved one mag, 'Adventurers are in for a visual and aural treat.' piped up another. Well, I don't know what games these guys have been playing, but they can't have been much cop if they're foaming at the mouth about this one.

Sure, it looks good. It looks great, even. And it has a reasonably good plot and clever puzzles. There's just no sensation of movement and the whole thing feels a bit bland and one dimensional. Looking back at the criticisms that were hurled at 7th Guest when it first appeared (ie limited gameplay), it seems ironic that most of the games which have attempted to emulate it have turned out to be worse. Myst will probably keep your attention for about an hour or so, but once the novelty of the pretty graphics and atmospheric sound effects has worn off, you won't find much else in it to have you coming back for more.
