5.0 out of 5 stars Best Bet if you want to enjoy Myst., November 15, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Myst: Revised and Expanded Edition: The Official Strategy Guide (Prima's Secrets of the Games, Vol 1) (Paperback)

Thsi is the best book you could buy if you want to solve Myst and still enjoy it after. The first section gives vague hints and a complete walk-through of the game, pointing out the cool details of the game. The second part has a quick-guide for anyone who's in a hurry. The last part of the book contains an exclusive interview with the makers of Myst. Myst was a game ment to be enjoyed, not a puzzle ment to be conquered. All the other guides just tell you the facts, not really appreciating Myst for all it's beauty and glory. This is the ONLY way to go if you want to get your money's worth out of Myst.

This review is from: Myst: Revised and Expanded Edition: The Official Strategy Guide (Prima's Secrets of the Games, Vol 1) (Paperback)

Best game there is for just fun and NO killing, just perhaps good clean fun for the whole family. Let one do the controls and another person read along in this book to make one enjoyable game for all to play. Enjoy, The Larghe's
