I got Myst and Riven when I was about 14, and I never got further in Myst than that first little hut with the books in. The people in the blue and red book freaked me out, I couldn't work out what I was doing, and I didn't like that there were no people saying 'I'll give you the thimble if you go and get the cat out of the tree' etc. (Yes I grew up playing Sierra http://adventuregamers.com/forums/im...ilies/wink.gif) I never even tried Riven. But a friend got Myst on the DS and I tried it. I still didn't get any further than the first hut with books, but I was quite interested in reading them all. I think I am going to try Myst and Riven again when I get back to my PC...
