Myst is very buggy. Lots of crashes in Myst. The troubleshooting suggestions offered by Ubisoft are silly. (Make sure you have at least 24-bit graphics selected.) I solved my first crash after about an hour of trying different things. As it turned out, the latest version of Quicktime (v6.5.1) causes a hologram projection device to crash. Removing Quicktime v6.5.1 and installing v6.3 from the DVD fixed that crash. I've spent about an hour on my next crash with no luck. When you consider how long ago Myst was released as well as how long this DVD collection was released, it's really pretty amazing how poor the quality is. There is no patch available and no useful information in the online FAQ. As far as the game itself goes, Myst certainly looks dated. It's not a bad game, but I would agree with a previous reviewer's comments that suggest you need to use the hints to solve the game. There have been a few occasions in which you need to click on just the right spot on some rather poor graphics to open a secret door. I enjoy trying to think through the more logical puzzles, but I really don't have the patience to blindly click on every spot on a screen hoping to find a secret door. I haven't bothered trying Riven or Exile yet since I haven't completed Myst, so I can't comment on them. Bottom line: spend your $20 on something else. Regards, Greg
