Myst Again! On Ipod Touch.
I couldn’t resist any longer. After playing the trial version of Myst for the Ipod, I officially made my first Itunes purchase to buy this classic game. I, like so many others, have always been enchanted by the Myst series. I finally played and finished (beat seems to be the wrong word to use here) this game a couple years back and am still enjoying it the second time around.
The transition to the Iphone/Ipod touch is a good one. The controls hardly seemed hindered by the touch screen format. In fact, in some ways it could be superior to mouse navigation. There has only been a couple instances so far that the buttons you need to press seem a little difficult to hit because of screen size. The graphics are also much better than the original version, which allows you to be absorbed into the new world without feeling like the game was made almost 20 years ago.
If you still haven’t gotten the chance to play the game that held the title of best selling PC game of all time for nearly a decade, I encourage you to try it now, and for only $4.99, it’s fairly painless. Just be forewarned that this game is hard and will take up 500mb of your storage space! I also recommend staying away from the hint guide as much as possible as liberal use of it will take away much of the satisfaction of completing Myst.
