A little nostalgia for my parents, a new experience for me I was too young to play the original Myst, but my mom had, and one day we were shopping at the mall and we saw this--so voila! At first I was just sort of confused--where the crap am I? What am I supposed to do with the boat? I was totally used to action and platform games that my brothers played, and I was actually afraid that people were going to attack me from behind the doors and stuff. At first I needed the hints, but eventually I "weaned" off them, at least until that subway thing at the end. I had a fantastic time playing Myst. It didn't crash but once, either. When I played Riven, though, it crashed a little more, and of course, the whole concept was not so foreign, so it lost a little novelty appeal. The graphics were a lot better, though. I haven't beaten it though (no hints!). I look forward to beating it eventually, though. I have XP and the crashes suck, but it doesn't really spoil any gameplay.
