Myst: Masterpiece Edition

The Masterpiece edition is essentially a re-release with improved graphics and compatibility. There is nothing significantly different, so if you own the original, it doesn't make much sense to.
On the other hand, if you do not own a copy of Myst yet, you should definitely go for the Masterpiece edition if you can. Beware that both still have technical problems on newer machines and operating systems, and some of these problems are addressed in the 'Technical Questions' later on.
This is a remake of the Myst adventure from the Windows 3.1 platforms. They've added a whole new engine in the game, with many new options and things that may be of some big help. Not to mention better sound, and 24-bit graphics instead of 8-bit 256 colors. If you never played the original Myst, try this one, it's much closer to you.

RealMyst: Masterpiece Edition is a beautifully updated version of realMyst for today’s devices– celebrating the 25th anniversary of Myst! The worlds have been reconstructed and enhanced to provide realistic water, changing weather, dynamic lighting, life-like. The whole board is of buttons that total 360 degrees. Press the button that is the same as the lighthouse degree. Now pump the water out of the ship deck. Go down there and click on the table to reveal the Myst linking book. Channelwood Age. After you've returned both pages to their books on Myst, go to the cabin in the woods.

We're really sorry for the inconvenience, but please would you disable your ad-blocker? Our adverts are relevant and non-intrusive, they appear only at the top and the sides, never in the content. They don't include auto-playing audio either, they really won't spoil your enjoyment of the site. Thank you in advance!

Want to see this appeal go away forever? Support us on Patreon and we'll make that happen! Click the button on the left to find out more.

'I'm not running an ad-blocker!' -Refresh/reload the page, if you still see the panda or have other problems then click here to contact us immediately, thanks.

'Why are you doing this?' - Frankly we're struggling to make ends meet here especially since the site got more popular. The only way we can think to cover our costs is to run ads, but if so many of you keep blocking them...

'But I never click ads!' - Doesn't matter, you should only click them if they interest you. We get paid based on the number of views AND the number of clicks.

'You ruined the site!!!1! I want to send you hate mail!!' - Sure, click here.

Another fact - We have the software and the power to completely block adblock users from our site, but we're not going to, at least for now. We figure most of you would like to support us and you only installed Adblock because of other sites that aren't so considerate with their ad placement. Please, don't punish us because of them, in the seven or so years I've been a blogger/webmaster I've ALWAYS considered the need to balance monetisation with reader experience. I want to build an audience not send them away.

So go on, whitelist us and any other site you love. If it wasn't for ads, the internet would lose a whole chunk of really great niche content like this, which would be a real shame in our opinion.

Now, go ahead and read the page if you want to, but wouldn't it be much more convenient if you just whitelisted us? :)

Many gamers play videogames for escapism. If escaping somewhere a little more sedate than futuristic battlefields or zombie infested post-apocalyptic wastelands is your thing, Myst might just be the kind of game you can get lost in. Set on a beautiful but surreal island, you must explore the mysterious locations and solve the various puzzles to uncover pages left behind by the mysterious scholar Atrus. Players are free to explore the island and tackle the puzzles at their own pace, making Myst a game that appeals to the more cerebral player. Originally released in 1995, the game went on to become one of the best selling PC games ever and the series is second only to The Sims in total sales worldwide.

The Masterpiece Edition of Myst was released in May 2000 and included a number of enhancements to both sound and visuals. This is the version of the game we tested.

Installation

The game should install without any issues on modern machines. During installation you will be offered the option to install both Quicktime and DirectX. You should choose “No” to both these options. Installing the older version of Quicktime that comes with the game can interfere with more modern software on your PC, such as iTunes.

Myst Masterpiece Edition Review

Running the game

Before you can run the game, you will need to copy the files from this zip archive (link broken? Let me know here) into the Myst – Masterpiece Edition installation directory (which is at C:Program Files (x86)Red OrbMyst Masterpiece Edition, by default). After you do this the game should start and run.

Unfortunately, even with the above fix we were not able to get the game running at an acceptable standard. Video content played but had unacceptable levels of crackling on the soundtrack. Audio in-game seemed fine, but since there are lots of videos to encounter as you explore the island, we doubt that most players will find this acceptable. If you really want to play Myst – Masterpiece edition we recommend you purchase a pre-fixed version from GoG.com.
