I have a PIII-800 system, 256MB ram, nVidia-TNT2-pro gfx card, and the graphics were completely smooth and fast even in 1024x768x16bit. You can also control the brightness (key, for exploring tunnels, dark rooms, and outside at night!!), with Ctrl-Shift-+ & - (numeric pad + - keys.) Otherwise, it is very dark and difficult to see key items sometimes!! but I just backed out and walked more carefully, went fine. (glad Myst doesn't let you fall off & die, like other games!) Only difficulty was sometimes getting caught on the wrong stairs when both up&down were right next to each other etc. I moved pretty easily w/ the mouse over narrow stairs and walkways etc. I never ran into movement problems while trying to manipulate objects, and I didn't seem to hit time problems, I moved pretty quickly through the world & the puzzles.
#Realmyst game download windows manual
I would suggest that others try downloading the demo (if you can handle 46megabyte download :-) ), and see for yourself.Īs noted in another review, even with no manual I quickly figured out that the 'hand' pointer icon changes (thumb disappears, or hand opens) when it is over an object you can manipulate. I won't really try rating the game itself, but this is my estimate.
I've only downloaded the 46MB demo from GameSpot so far- haven't played the real game- but if the game plays like the demo, the control and speed issues mentioned in the review are not a problem at all.
