I have ONE problem with this game.....it is too short!!!!! The puzzles are great, the graphics are still great after all these years. It is so easy too understand. If you understand that all squibs are squabs and that most squabs are squirls etc you can do this, definitely.
What i like most about this MYST game (and all the other MYST's) is that there are constant surprises right the way through. Other games have nothing amazing left beyond ten minutes. We arent stuck with one story line, there is one puzzle after another so MYST never gets boring.
I find it so incredibly amazing that the makers still havent ran out of new ideas for the MYST series.
When i first saw the hologram skull / rose i was mesmerised by it. Every time i had a visitor i turned the game on to show them. This game was released in 1993 (according to the information on the back cover of the game) so compare the graphics in this game to other games of the time. DOOM 2 was out in 1994. I totally understand the makers were going for a particular look but they also were making a game that was using the best technologies available to them at the time. (Dont get me wrong, I love DOOM, i'm on my 3nd run).
There are a few movies and books in which amazing worlds are created that no one wants to leave when they approach the end. To me MYST is one of those amazing worlds.
Finishing MYST is like losing your wallet, it should never be allowed to happen, the brains behind the game obviously understand that so therefore we have a whole heap of MYST's to keep us busy for quite some time. YEEEEE-HAR!!!!!

Myst had good graphics but it suffers from how boring it is.

I'd go as far to say Myst is the closest a game has come to a work of art.
