It sounds interesting. Thanks. =============== Reply 2 of Note 6 ================= Board: GAMES BB Topic: FANTASY GAMES M-Z Subject: MYST To: BMKK33C BRIAN MORLEY Date: 03/14 From: JRRU04A BARBARA GILLICK Time: 6:44 PM Brian, I'm in this place too. Maybe we can help each other o.k. Use the pump under to umbrella to pump out the different tunnels. Use the generator in the lighthouse to lit the corridors. In one you will find a secret passageway, where there is a thing on the floor to activate that room, but I don't know how to do it. Look at the batteries, next to the the generator, when you first see it -it has a red light, when you have sucessfully turn it, the light will go green. It doesn't last too long so try and get things down quickly. Also, were you able to go to the telescope and turn to where the lighthouse beam is lit?

I actually got lucky and found the doors in the dark initially, each room has a document in it. I still can't figure out how to get back though. Still thinking, Brian =============== Reply 4 of Note 6 ================= Board: GAMES BB Topic: FANTASY GAMES M-Z Subject: MYST To: BMKK33C BRIAN MORLEY Date: 03/14 From: JRRU04A BARBARA GILLICK Time: 11:42 PM Brian, Float the trunk in the lighthouse. Crank the generator about 10 times. Don't use your zip code on top. Look in the tunnel (the one closest to the umbrella) for a secret passage (look down the bottom at a red square) push the 13th bottom clockwise once inside. Go to the telescope at set it until you see the lighthouse before you go on with the first thing I told you. Don't know if it matters which order you do it in, but to be on the safe side, do the telescope first.

I don't seem to be able to find 13 (bottom? or button?). Next, where are you finding a red square, is it in the tunnel into the mountain. Does this help light up the cabin of the ship? Thanks. Stuck. Brian. =============== Reply 6 of Note 6 ================= Board: GAMES BB Topic: FANTASY GAMES M-Z Subject: MYST To: BMKK33C BRIAN MORLEY Date: 03/15 From: JRRU04A BARBARA GILLICK Time: 6:31 PM Brian. Did you set the telescope? How go start the generator. go in first tunnel in rock (same boat w/undersea room.) You'll tunnel should be lit (check out the arched gray doors along the passage - and look for a red square, the push, a small passage will open, go inside, you will see a large object in the center, 13th button on outside of it. If you have done it correctly, the lights will be brighter in the room. Now go and push 3rd pump under umbrella, go into the undersea room. Let me know how you make out. I'm in Channelwood now, go there next and we can help each other out.

I kept zipping past the door. I had looked at some of them previously, but not close enough I guess. How did you figure the number 13? Was it from the position at which the lighthouse was in the telescope? Well, I made it back to Myst, I am still not sure what to do with the documents. I'm now in the spaceship age, I forget the correct name. Well, thanks for your assistance!! Brian. =============== Reply 8 of Note 6 ================= Board: GAMES BB Topic: FANTASY GAMES M-Z Subject: MYST To: BMKK33C BRIAN MORLEY Date: 03/15 From: JRRU04A BARBARA GILLICK Time: 11:55 PM Hi Brian, Good, glad you made it out, put the color pages you brought back in the books in the library. I'm jealous you made it to the spaceship Age, I can't figure out the tune (tone deaf ya know) but if you get bored with it, go to the tree stage, so we can play it together. On the ship, you have to play the piano key in the sequence of the diagram, and then move the levers to the correct tone you played. Am I correct on this? then pull the lg. lever? If you can think of some way to help me out with the settings, I would just love it..... Mystified....Barb =============== Reply 9 of Note 6 ================= Board: GAMES BB Topic: FANTASY GAMES M-Z Subject: MYST To: JRRU04A BARBARA GILLICK Date: 03/16 From: BMKK33C BRIAN MORLEY Time: 7:36 AM Yes you are correct. I used both a little hearing and mostly tried just going up the scale with the correct number of notes. These numbers are- 8, 20, 23, 13, 6. You just have to go up really slow to keep count. I would like to go to channelwood, but after getting the steam started and jumping into the hole of the tree as it went up, it came to a stop and I didn't know what else to do but press the button and go back down. Is the book in the tree when at the top height? Brian. =============== Reply 10 of Note 6 ================= Board: GAMES BB Topic: FANTASY GAMES M-Z Subject: MYST To: BMKK33C BRIAN MORLEY Date: 03/16 From: JRRU04A BARBARA GILLICK Time: 9:58 AM Brian, After you hear it go up, turn the handle off until you hear it coming down, then get on it. The book is underground.

YOU SEEM TO BE THE GURU FOR THIS GAME! CAN YOU PLEASE GET ME STARTED? THANKS, NEAL =============== Reply 12 of Note 6 ================= Board: GAMES BB Topic: FANTASY GAMES M-Z Subject: MYST To: SHBV32A NEAL BROADBENT Date: 03/20 From: JRRU04A BARBARA GILLICK Time: 0:38 AM Hi Neal, Gee you make me blush. Let's see, make sure to read the books in the library, if it shows a chart or picture, copy it in your book. Go to the map on the wall. See the bottom that flash, hold down on it and move it to different buildings. There should be a red line. Hit the picture on the wall to reveal the hidden stairs in the bookcase. Go up to the elevator and look for two stairways, One will have a book, the other a key (make sure to jot down whatever appears. As you get clues to each object. Go to that building at enter the codes. there are 8 switches you will need to open, set that nbr. in the panel door in the passage behind the docks. Then hit the button on the object in the middle of the floor. This will take await to get all the info you need before you can leave this place. Then I can help you further.

Saw your messages to Neal and hope you don't mind if I tag along. The premise of the game is fascinating and I love the graphics, but they don't give you an idea of what you're supposed to do...??? Thus far I've been wandering around the island switching on things for no reason, making some random notes, etc. Found the library and the secret stairs, etc. but can't figure out what to do with the clues given. Am I trying to launch the rocket ship? Get back to the present? Regain my sanity?

I have tried the calibration tool, but don't know what I should if anything set this tool to, so that going up in the elevator will get me access to the real controls. What exact sequence do I need? =============== Reply 1 of Note 8 ================= Board: GAMES BB Topic: FANTASY GAMES M-Z Subject: MYST To: BGCV86A FREDERICK PILEGGI Date: 03/20 From: BMKK33C BRIAN MORLEY Time: 0:57 AM Did you look at the book in Myst? It shows a diagram of the fortress. The calibration tool is for practice to see what you are doing. Listen to the sound when the bridge stops at each side when using the calibration tool. Have you found the real controls yet? Good Luck. =============== Note 9 ================= Board: GAMES BB Topic: FANTASY GAMES M-Z Subject: MYST To: ALL Date: 03/18 From: NDWR47A NEIL NELSON Time: 2:57 AM Help with the trees and switches. I have mapped this whole place, changed the switches to route water to the elevator farthest away over the sunken bridge but nothing I do makes the elevator work. I have found the other closer in elevator which goes to the first levelup & explored it, found nothing and assume what I need is on the second level up but I can't get there. Someone please help me I'm running around in circles, circles, circles... now stop that!!! Some specific directions would be appreciated.. Thanks...

I couldn't tell you where the switch is, I just sorta bumbled onto it. Good Luck! =============== Reply 2 of Note 9 ================= Board: GAMES BB Topic: FANTASY GAMES M-Z Subject: MYST To: BMKK33C BRIAN MORLEY Date: 03/20 From: NDWR47A NEIL NELSON Time: 1:17 AM Thanks Brian, do you mean there is a switch on the first level up from the ground level which opens the gate? Then is the switch to direct water to the second level elevator on the ground level? Sorry to be so dense... it comes with age. Neil =============== Reply 3 of Note 9 ================= Board: GAMES BB Topic: FANTASY GAMES M-Z Subject: MYST To: NDWR47A NEIL NELSON Date: 03/20 From: BMKK33C BRIAN MORLEY Time: 8:33 AM The simple answer is yes. Have you seen all of the y-type switches for directing the water? Those are the ones which need to be changed to get the elevator working. I believe it is actually the first one when coming back from the windmill. =============== Reply 4 of Note 9 ================= Board: GAMES BB Topic: FANTASY GAMES M-Z Subject: MYST To: NDWR47A NEIL NELSON Date: 03/23 From: CVTH92A DALE PARFITT Time: 0:13 AM Hi Neil, I have the same question to Brian- there are 3 levels. On which level is the switch that opens the gate- and I assume it opens the gate on the second level (?). which you can then go freely up and down staircase. Dale =============== Reply 5 of Note 9 ================= Board: GAMES BB Topic: FANTASY GAMES M-Z Subject: MYST To: CVTH92A DALE PARFITT Date: 03/23 From: BMKK33C BRIAN MORLEY Time: 6:03 PM The switch is on the second level. You can see the gate from where the switch is and watch it open, if that helps you find it. I never mapped out the level, just got lucky. You are also right that you can then go up and down the spiral staircase once it is open. =============== Note 10 ================= Board: GAMES BB Topic: FANTASY GAMES M-Z Subject: MYST To: ALL Date: 03/20 From: BMKK33C BRIAN MORLEY Time: 5:25 PM Where is the vault.

It was mentioned that it might be the final marker switch. Is this correct? Is the piece of paper for Dunny in the vault? If not, a small clue as to its whereabouts.

There isn't really any second world, because you can go to them in any order you like. Therefore, the things you "should" have done with the tree you can do when you return to Myst (the tree leads to another world). In the age you are in, yes, you need to figure out the sounds to open the door. If you look around the island carefully, there is somewhere that you can see but cannot walk to >> directly. You'll need to find a special route there (a ladder), but you don't need to solve any puzzles to find it. It's in plain view on the main island. Just keep looking. Once you reach this new area, the machine on it will give you a hint about how to discover the sound pattern for that door. Hope this helps! -B- =============== Reply 2 of Note 3 ================= Board: GAMES BB Topic: FANTASY GAMES M-Z Subject: MYST - HELPPP To: DBTN95B LAURA HUDSON Date: 03/19 From: KMKK00B KENNETH WADE Time: 0:01 AM Laura- We just got Myst yesterday (it has been around for some time as a Mac game) and we don't know where to begin. How many switches are there on the island? How do we figure out the combinations? Are there any numbers we should look for at the water turbulent pool, besides the ones on the chart? If anybody reading this would like to share clues, we would be extremely grateful. The screens are really great and the idea of a blank journal is novel, but, boy can it be frustrating to not have any idea what we are doing here. Thanks for letting me ramble.

It is this board that has the most help. Set your date back on the first screen of this BB to about 09-01 and you will find lots of information. Be carefull, don't read too much as it will ruin the game, but also don't let yourself get stuck for 8 days as one person did. The key to this game is to LISTEN VERY CAREFULLY. Even when you are sure you know the answer, sight won't always help.

Go back and hit the third button again, and then go back to the lighthouse. Unlock the chest.

From what I have learned on AOL, here, & from BroderBLUNDER is that the HT card won't work. I have downloaded the latest 10/25/93 video drivers from PB BBS 1-818-313-8601 and still I cannot get rid of the split screen problem. I installed the video 7 512k 640x480 256 driver also.>>> And still no luck. If anyone has any suggestions OR solutions please post here.

I just bought it today, but spent a few hours this evening getting it going. I finally got the correct video drivers installed and it looks good. The problem is the game play. It starts out fine, but after I do something, move around a bit or flip some switches etc. It begins to move slower and slower until it almost locks up, > with my hard drive sounding like it is ready to explode!! I have upped the windows swap file to well in excess of recommended and have removed all screen savers etc that might be interfereing. Any help on making this run well. It looks good, but frankly, I can't stand the noise from the poor drive!!

This is hard to explain, but every time the pipes fork, there are almost like gate-valve type things. Each valve has to be open toward the direction you are wanting the water to go. If the valve is open the right way, you will here the sound of rushing water.

Thanx TB =============== Reply 1 of Note 31 ================= Board: GAMES BB Topic: CD-ROM ENTERTAINMENT Subject: MYST To: VWFB33C TOM BARR Date: 03/17 From: YKMU05A BRIAN ALBERS Time: 9:09 AM Be careful that you are hitting the right octave. If you don't know much about music, this means that essentially, you are hitting the same not but higher or lower on the scale. Sometimes this is hard to distinguish. Make sure that when you hit the switch and play back the notes, they are in the right order and, more importantly, they correspond by "distance" to the ones on the keyboard. >> In other words, if the note you entered is quite a ways above or below the previous one on the machine, but the corresponding one on the keyboard is fairly close to the previous one, you are probably hitting the wrong octave. Try to find a similarly sounding note closer to the previous one.

Go to the map in the library. You will see a round circle, I think it flashes. Hold down on it and move it to a specific building. A red line should be showing. Touch the picture of the bookcase to reveal a passage. Go up in the elevator and now see if you can read clues to each building. These are access codes to each age, when set correctly. If you put the red line (from the map) on the spaceship, you will get (3) dates - go sit in the chair and enter them in the screen above your head. (when you see the constellation, make a note of it - clue has to do with the red and green symbols.

I had the same problem exiting Myst with NDW installed, but when I went back to the Windows Program Manager, the problem cleared up. The easiest way to rectify this is to edit the SYSTEM.INI file in the Windows directory. Look for the line that says SHELL=C:\NDW\NDW.EXE. It should be towards the top, so it isn't hard to find. Put a semi-colon ";" in front of the line so it looks like this: ;SHELL=C:\NDW\NDW.EXE Go to the end of the line and hit ENTER, so a blank line appears after the NDW line and before the next. Then type in: SHELL=PROGMAN.EXE, save and exit. When you reload Windows, you'll be back to the Program Manager (you'll still have the NDW group) and your Myst troubles will be over. You may have to set up a new Broderbund group--I did. When you finish the game for good, just edit your SYSTEM.INI again, removing the ";" from the NDW line, and deleting the PROGMAN.EXE line, and you'll back to the NDW shell. I hated giving up the NDW shell, but it's only temporary and it's better than having conflicts with the game...

I'm a bit leery of a Mac program converted to IBM, as I recently finished Journeyman, and judging by the amount of people that could not get it to run with out always locking up (backdate your messages and check out journeyman on this forum) I >>>more think I'll wait and see how it plays out under IBM. If it runs under DOS, it'll probably be ok, but if it's a Windows only.....It took me quite a while to get Journeyman to run, turns out there are tons of software conflicts, from video drivers to sound drivers and finding the right combination can be a bit frustrating. =============== Note 2 ================= Board: GAMES BB Topic: CD-ROM ENTERTAINMENT Subject: MYST - GOOD?

To: FDBH20A ASWIN PRIBADI Date: 03/11 From: NHBE17A LORI NISHIMURA Time: 1:39 AM Dear Aswin- I just started Myst but have finished Seventh Guest. I'm not sure about the Myst plot, but Seventh Guest had a very confusing plot. I finished the game and I'm still not sure what it all meant. I think the real difference between the two games is that in Myst you solve the puzzles by observing things and reasoning based on your observations. Seventh Guest had more "game" type puzzles like crosswords, cards, puzzles, or chess that were not based on observation. The Seventh Guest puzzles were more the ability to reason how to solve the game. No observation at all. The problem was it was sometimes hard to figure out what the goal was in the Seventh Guest puzzles. Others of them like the chess board with black knights on one side and white knights on the other side were easy to understand the goal (switch all the pieces to the opposite side using only legal moves and one open square). Seventh Guest also had a hint type feature. So the short answer is that I think both are good games. It just depends on what type of puzzles you want to confront. Hope this helped- lori =============== Reply 3 of Note 2 ================= Board: GAMES BB Topic: CD-ROM ENTERTAINMENT Subject: MYST - GOOD? To: NHBE17A LORI NISHIMURA Date: 03/11 From: FDBH20A ASWIN PRIBADI Time: 1:15 PM Finally went with my gut instincts and bought Myst. Initially it does seem overly vague, something no game players do not want to feel when playing a new game. But as I go deeper, the plot (if I can call it that, as I dont understand it<G>,yet) flowers nicely. And turning on the transitions smooths the transition between scenes, nice touch. Anyhow, for Myst prospectors out there,...... GET THIS GAME!<G>. One thing I'll say, it is not as linear as 7Guest, and very intriguing.

To: VKJG02A BRIAN KEY Date: 03/21 From: YKMU05A BRIAN ALBERS Time: 12:09 PM Don't listen to this guy. MYST is one of the most original games around, because it has a decent plot. The "slide show" effect works very well because there are extensive views of every world, and it really draws you in. If he returned it after a day, it's probably because the plot unfolds slowly as you discover more details. The puzzles are well-integrated into the worlds, and there >> is plenty of exploration that doesn't require overcoming obstacles, but just adds to the feel that you are in a complete world. I normally don't like Mac games ported to the pc, but this is a definite exception.

To: VKJG02A BRIAN KEY Date: 03/22 From: YKMU05A BRIAN ALBERS Time: 1:26 AM No problem, Brian, and I respect your opinion. I would like to share my opinion on some CD games that I think ARE worth buying a CD-ROM system for. 1) Day of the Tentacle (CD-ROM). If you haven't played the dos version, this game is great. Great voices, animation, and puzzles! 2) Gabriel Knight (CD-ROM). Once again, the CD voices >> add to the experience of a great adventure. 3) Myst - this game is original in plot, and although it IS a puzzle game, the puzzles become part of the environment and help you understand the world, rather than just serve as random obstacles thrown into the environment. I wish I could recommend more CD-ROM games, but the rest of them have significant flaws. Although some of them are good, none of the others are outstanding. And many are horrible, action games especially. CD-ROM, at least currently, is not built for action. Just my opinion. -B- =============== Reply 11 of Note 3 ================= Board: GAMES BB Topic: CD-ROM ENTERTAINMENT Subject: MYST - GOOD?

Of course the HD game well run faster but there well be limitation of the gaphics. A CD Rom can hold 650 megs of information, most of the CD Rom games out now are around 300 megs if that. What I see from you is the slowness of the drives. I don't have a double speed drive but I do have a cache program from my CD drive and it has increased the speed 3 fold.

I received a fax from Broderbund stating the following: ------ There is a know problem at this time between the Video 7/Headland video card and Apple's QuickTime for Windows engine. Due to the design and video sophistication of the program, Myst MPC requires QuickTime to run effectively. Myst is setup so that it could accept a patch for QuickTime if or when it becomes available. Apple does not have a fix as of yet. Symptoms of this problem are as follows: * Unable to see the full animation of QuickTime movies * Split video * Animation half way off the screen Until that time, we may suggest trying the following which has helped a few find success: Please go to the QuickTime init file and change the "optimize" section from "hardware" to "driver". This has seemed to resolve the split screen problem. To do this go to the QTW.INI file and you will see a line that says OPTIMIZE=HARDWARE. Please change the line to read OPTIMIZE=DRIVER. This seemed to work for quite a few people, however, it may slow down your system a little bit. (Here is the kicker line. They must not like to sell software) If the above information does not work for you, we must unfortunately suggest that you return the software from to the dealer from where it was purchased until Apple is able provide an update. ---------- Well this did not work for me. My QTW.INI did not even have the above mentioned OPTIMIZE line. I tried adding it, but it still did not work. I will be returning this game ASAP. Hope this helps others out and keeps others from buying the game and wasting a lot of time like I have. I have to say that I will not be purchasing anything from Broderbund and/or anything that uses QuickTime in the near future. =============== Note 2 ================= Board: GAMES BB Topic: CD-ROM ENTERTAINMENT Subject: MYST - SPLIT VIDEO To: ALL Date: 03/14 From: EFRA96A VINCENT LOMBARDO Time: 1:04 PM Recently got a Packard Bell Force 2010 Multi-Media and am having problems with "Myst" - the screen is divided in half - with the upper part of the game appearing at the bottom and the bottom half at the top.

BTW, my name is Bill, I live in Upstate New York and just about EVERY Packard Bell owner is having this problem.If you get a chance look up the info on a subject I started here called "Myst-Video Problems." Myst was designed by Apple Inc. Apple Inc. makes a very fast qtw.ini file.[quick time file for windows Mac based.]The qtw.ini file you will find in your WINDOWS >>>>> directory is NOT compatable with the qtw.ini needed to run Myst well. Unfortunately, Broderbund software did not know this. I called Tech Support at Broderbund and was told that they were "attempting to contact Headland Technologies but have been told that they may have relocated to Japan. Headland Technologies makes the video card for Packard Bell......SO.....here are your options 1. go into windows, go to file manager,go to Windows directory and bring up the qtw.ini file .You are going to edit this file while in Windows. On the TOP line add the following, [video],then enter, directly underneath it write> optimize=driver, then enter, which will leave a space between this and the rest of your qtw.ini file. It looks something like this : [video] optimize=driver - then the rest of your qtw.ini file then SAVE this, exit windows and then restart windows. The video will aapear normal but slow, very slow. 2. make sure your sound card drivers are the newest version 3.make sure your CD-ROM drivers are the newest versions 4.you might want to possibly contact Packard Bell BBS to>>> downlaod their latest qtw.ini file.I have not yet attempted this, though I am going to try this route. 5.Lastly the Tech told me if all else fails, simply return then game.Once Apple, Broderbund, and Headland Technologies get things together, expect a new version of Myst. Well, I hope all this helps. You're not alone in this. Anyone with a Packard Bell with a HT video card will have the same problem. Best of luck.

To: DMTJ44A SAM PORTNOY Date: 03/15 From: YKMU05A BRIAN ALBERS Time: 8:14 PM What he means (from reading his previous complaints about this game) is that Myst does not flow smoothly from location to location the way 7th Guest does. This is hardly a flaw in the game. The transitions in 7th Guest were nice the first time or two walking through the house, but then they became tedious. Myst uses the CD space to create MANY more locations to visit, rather than transitions. I've played nearly every game on the market, CD included, and here are Myst's strong points. It has a very unusual story line (especially for a computer game), and you learn it at your own pace (7th Guest's story didn't make much sense even after the game was finished). Myst has a feature to allow you to move quickly from location to location. It's graphics, while not featuring transitions, are even better looking than 7th Guest's graphics. The puzzles in Myst deal with the environment you explore, whereas 7th Guest's puzzles are like board games strewn about a house for no apparent reason. Both games have good music, but the >> music and sound in Myst is less glaring and, in my opinion, better suits the mood of the game. The acting in Myst is not nearly as hammy as that in 7th Guest. However, Myst's strongest point is the way its puzzles are integrated into the story and force you to make choices about which characters to trust. Don't get me wrong - I liked both games. Myst, however, is an UNUSUAL game, by gaming standards. If you don't like it, take it back, but I personally recommend it. -Another Brian in TX- =============== Reply 5 of Note 1 ================= Board: GAMES BB Topic: CD-ROM ENTERTAINMENT Subject: MYST ANY GOOD?

To: TJRV12A WAYNE HIXSON Date: 03/22 From: FKJN28A JOHN HUNT Time: 1:37 AM Wayne - I've got a set-up similar to yours (SB16,SCSI-2 and NEC 3Xi) and am also having the same problem. After much tinkering, I believe there is an incompatibility problem between the Adaptec CD-ROM driver (the one for the SB16,SCSI-2) and QuickTime for Windows when using the NEC 3Xi. If I transfer "The Making of Myst" to my harddrive (I have a large harddrive), I can get it to play fine, but it won't play from my CD-ROM drive. On the other hand, other video formats such as Microsoft Video for Windows will play from my CD-ROM drive without a hitch. So I think the problem is QuickTime in combination with our CD-ROM driver when used with the 3Xi. Unfortunately, I don't know if there is a solution other than waiting for an updated version of QuickTime or of the Adaptec CD-ROM driver. Please, please let me know if you find another solution.

People don't want to spend the time and messages replying to something that has already been said. Backdate your responses and read for yourself. But here are answers to a few of your questions. 1) If you tried to power up the generator, failed, and turned it off, you have to reset the circuit. Notice that the voltage to the ship originally worked, until you shut it off. Go outside and follow the power lines to the ship (you DID notice that's where they went, I hope). At two of the pillars along the lines, there are ladders. Go up and flip the switches. Then redo the generator to 59 volts. This will open the spaceship. 2) To operate things in Channelwood, go up to the windmill and turn the water on. Follow the water down the branching pipes, using the switches to direct it where you want it to go. If the water is flowing the the correct location, it will "power up" the thing that the pipes lead to. 3) Solving the clock tower opens up the gears near the dock (to the Mechanical Age). 4) You aren't doing something right with the little boat. 6) Figure out the plot yourself. It is only revealed gradually, and that is one of the strengths of the game. Contrary to your belief, there are not THAT many puzzles in this game. If you get too many hints it will fly by too quickly. Try to be more thorough in your search (you should have figured out number 3 by just looking around). There is a logical reason for everything in the game. -B- PRODIGY(R) interactive personal service 03/26 1:12 PM Number of notes exported: 7 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Board: GAMES BB ^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Topic: CD-ROM ENTERTAINMENT ^^^^^^^^^^^^ =============== Note 1 ================= Board: GAMES BB Topic: CD-ROM ENTERTAINMENT Subject: MYST \ PLS TELL ME To: ALL Date: 02/10 From: DKKM19C JON GUERIN Time: 6:53 PM I just want to know what the game is about, what everyone thinks of it.

There is no time limit. There are no death traps . The graphics are suberb. The puzzles are challenging but not impossible. The climax is somewhat of a letdown but that is a small quibble. All in all this is an excellent game in which one can think about what one is doing and appreciate it.

The biggest problem I am having is in the library. There are 2 books by themselves a red and blue (I think) When I open them I get a very scratchy and fading video. How can this be corrected? Also how do you know which land you are in? Is the first land called Myst? People have gotten quite far in a short time. I have explored the first land and checked out the map, etc in the library.

Also I see a page next to one book in the library, I can pick it up but not read it or seem to be able to do anything with it. There is also a paper on the steps leading up to the "gear", that the "hand" does not seem to be able to pick up? After watching the "video message", do you have to go to all the places again to see if anything changed?

You have to go to each age twice to get them both. As for the age with all the houses, you'll have to set the water pipes to flow in the right direction so they power the elevators. There are only 4-5 books that you can read on the bookshelf, the rest have been burned. You get back to Myst by finding the book in each age, and clicking on it.

I'm borrowing one tonite.. just couldn't take it w/o a computer any more <g>. Anyway, I hope you're further along and have figured some things out. The red pages you find in the worlds go in the red book, the blue pages go in the blue book. You need to go back to each world twice.. once for each colored page as you can only carry one page at a time. The only page I remember seeing on Myst was the one by the steps near the wharf that tells you to count the monitors or transformers (or whatever.. the word fails me) and input them in the room you find on the wharf. Once you've done that, you need to go back to the library. Click on the paintings and you'll find a room behind the bookcase. Use the map and once you get a red line, go up the elevator to the observatory, and write down the numbers you see on the key stairs. Then go outside and figure out where to use the numbers (looking through the slit in the observatory will help). Once you've solved> a puzzle, a abook will appear. Click on the book to enter the new world. You'll have to read the books to figure out the answers to some puzzles.. like the sunken ship south of the library.

The game is great tho. Lots of puzzles, in some respects more difficult than 7th guest.. because you have to walk through several screens, areas sometimes up into trees or down into sunken ships to solve several parts of the puzzle before it can be "entirely" solved. I think it's> similar to 7th Guest in many respects.. but more detailed and at least it has a plot ... You're not stuck in just a house, but get to travel all over an island, and several different worlds too. If you're not sure, get it from a company that will allow you to return it if you don't like it.

To: ALL Date: 03/11 From: FDBH20A ASWIN PRIBADI Time: 1:34 PM To all you frustated-Jerky Myst players out there.....I KNOW THE FEELING!<VBG> This is the checklist I used to get rid of the jerkiness out of my system: 1. No IRQ conflict. 2. No DMA conflict. 3. Make sure your CDROM utilises DMA. (This was the reason Myst was slow on my cptr, DMA was turned off). 4. Do not open another window while Myst is operating. DMA is short for Direct Memory Access. A method of checking whether DMA and IRQ is in conflict is simply to just put any program CD in and type dir d:, if DOS cannot recognize drive d: then either IRQ or DMA (or both) is in conflict. For those of you with Mitsumi2x, I may be able to help you further....if you could supply me with your config and autoexec.bat files (specifically, the CD-ROM driver lines. More specifically, their options<G>). Good luck.

I am assuming you have gotten the lights on inside the rock passages by getting to the top of the lighthouse. Barbara's answer was correct, and you should write down the degrees of the top of the lighthouse when looking through the telescope. It should be a flashing beacon. By the way, the generator at the top of the lighthouse eventually loses power and must be recharged >> so you might have to crank it again. Go inside the rock passageways. If you look carefully, both of them have secret doors. Entering either of these doors will bring you to a room with a large compass rose with buttons. Push the button corresponding to the degrees of the lighthouse and you will turn on the lights in the lower decks of the ship. This leads to the exit from this world. Don't forget one to bring one of the pages.

It seems that sometimes a creative/resourceful person can often come up with something tech support cannot. . I picked up Myst-CD MPC on Saturday, I know, don't buy ver. 1.0 of anything, but I just had to. I am having severe problems with it. I have a Legend 24LX video card. The game locks up everytime by the entrance to the generation plant/after the pillar walkway. The few times I got it sort of working I saw two butterflys dart by. All other times no butterflys, no work. The game locks my CD drive hard and the only way out is to do the three finger salute. Broderbund said that it was the video driver for my Legend since it uses the Cirrus 542X series chipset. They gave me an 800 number to call and order the new driver update for Windows. I was told when I called it that the cost of the update was $30 or I could download it from Compuserve, I downloaded it. Still no go. I then pulled up my Support On-Site for Applications CD from Ziff Davis and downloaded the new Microsoft "official" fast 256 color 640x480 driver. Again, no go, lock on the butterflys. Every so often it will lock on the docks with the seagulls at the start. . Broderbund was no help at all. They claimed that they had no info on problems since the game was so new and that they had done no in-house testing of the Cirrus chipset. . Is anyone else having this problem? The only other CD that causes this problem in my collection, and I have 40 of them , is Arthurs Teacher Troubles (gee, it's by Broderbund also, is there a trend here?). My Multimedia kit is the MediaVision Fusion Double-CD 16. . I've been fooling with this darn thing all night, I give up. I'll wait a week tops for some word about what the problem is and then this baby goes back to the store (or gets sold to a friend since I got it for $49. . Is anyone else out there having this problem? Speak up and be heard. . - Stan =============== Reply 1 of Note 1 ================= Board: GAMES BB Topic: CD-ROM ENTERTAINMENT Subject: MYST-TECH PROBLEMS To: GARA29A STANLEY TREVENA Date: 03/01 From: RXPP35A STEVEN HASTINGS Time: 9:34 PM I am also having problems with this game. Broderbund support basically is non-existent. If you can stand to redial the number about 20 times and stay on hold for 20 minutes, you may get to talk to someone. I am also having video problems with the MPC version of MSYT. I have a Packard Bell 486 with a Headland video card. It is really strange that they reference the specific video probloem >>> that I am having in their README.TXT file, but they cannot offer me any solutions. They must have been able to recreate it otherwise why would they even admit to having a problem. The problem that I am having is that the Quick Time movie segments in the game are not placed correctly on the screen. They are all over the place. I have the most recent video driver the I can obtain for my card, but it still does not work. I wish these video game people would spend more time into testing the systems that people actual have. That is if they test anything at all. I just finished going through a big ordeal with Sierra's Gabriel>> Knight CD. They finally updated their drivers so they would work. If anyone has any information on video drivers that I can try, please write me. =============== Reply 2 of Note 1 ================= Board: GAMES BB Topic: CD-ROM ENTERTAINMENT Subject: MYST-TECH PROBLEMS To: GARA29A STANLEY TREVENA Date: 03/02 From: GARA29A STANLEY TREVENA Time: 1:15 AM Well, after much troubleshooting (and downloading) I was able to fix my problem on my own. After another call to Broderbund this morning (this time 30 min. on hold) I came up dry again. Basically, after talking to the lady for about 10 minutes, I was left with the following info: . The percentage of problems to shipped product is "minuscule". My question, is that total shipped copies of Myst (MAC and MPC) or just the recent MPC release. And it only just hit the shelf Saturday/Monday in most places, of course not many reports have been made. When pushing the rep for more info I was told that they are now having their programmers look at the reported problems and that they are "writing to Microsoft spec." for their code and if it does not work with a specific machine with specific hardware it would be the responsibility of that hardware manufacturer to patch THEIR drivers. That sounds nice but let's see a company patch their drivers so it will work with a single CD release. I don't know, the rep left me with a bad impression. Actually came across a little snide is some of her comments. . I downloaded the new 542X code from Compuserve. It was in the IBMHW forum in the video lib. The file name is CL131.ZIP It's a new set of drivers for the 5426 and 5428 Cirrus chipsets. I loaded up the 640 x 480 x 256 driver and the problem actually got worse. Solid lock on the first screen on the island when the seagulls appear. . Got home early and got right through to Mediavision Tech support. They recently restructured their tech support and while I always talked it down in the past for lack of knowledge of their own products and general "who cares" attitude, my latest experience was a model for how tech support should be. Very polite, stayed on the phone while I ran through some version checking and tests, and told me to call back if I had any further problems. I was told to download the following files from their BBS (510) 770-9905: . MVSND324.EXE 312.EXE GWPATCH.ZIP or WIN146.EXE The first two files are the DOS drivers for the CD and ProAudio Studio Card, the last two (your choice, ZIP or self extract) are for the updated Windows drivers. After unzipping these files and installing them to the correct directories Myst now works. Which file did it? Don't know and don't care. I took all my drivers to the absolute latest versions and it worked (which by the way is what is mentioned in the Myst readme file). So if you are having problems with Myst, don't wait for Broderbund to tell you what's causing it, get on the modem and update all your drivers to current versions. I had a problem very much like the Broderbund experience with The Journeyman Project. I was half way through and writing a review of it when I hit a bug that I could not get around. All fingers pointed to everyone ELSE and THEIR drivers as the cause of the problem. And oh yes, Quicktime would soon be updated by Apple and that might fixit(?). Companies are going to have to learn to be a little more responsive to their customers or they won't have customers. . We could talk for days on software standards and PC's but I got what I needed off my chest. Any ?'s, drop me a line. =============== Reply 3 of Note 1 ================= Board: GAMES BB Topic: CD-ROM ENTERTAINMENT Subject: MYST-TECH PROBLEMS To: GARA29A STANLEY TREVENA Date: 03/02 From: YVBA27A RICHARD GILMORE Time: 2:48 AM All this talk agrivates me. I mean thousands of different computer setups. Hundreds, well maybe a little under a hundred video cards, quite a few different cd-rom drives and you expect everything to run picture perfect of every system. It's a new game. How can the tech people know what is going to happen on every computer. No matter how much testing they do there are always going to be bugs. This is no Sega Genesis or SNES where everything is the same of every single machine. If half you people even had a clue!! Think for a bloody second. If you need new drivers for video cards or sound cards, get them. You can't expect technology to stay at a standstill. You would all still be sitting back playing hurl the rock at Uggggg or playing Ultima on your C-64. The only complaint I can see is that you have such a hard time getting through to their tech department. But what can you expect when a game first comes out. I wish some of you would think for a bloody second. RICH =============== Reply 4 of Note 1 ================= Board: GAMES BB Topic: CD-ROM ENTERTAINMENT Subject: MYST-TECH PROBLEMS To: GARA29A STANLEY TREVENA Date: 03/02 From: WVHG41A JODY HAWKE Time: 3:05 AM Thank you Mr. Trevena! A few days after release, and I am now convinced that sound card software upgrades are the name of the game in MYST. We always recommend to customers that they inquire with the manufacturer of sound card, video card, and CD-ROM player to ensure that they have the latest software available, but consumer resistance is extreme. Most computer users are not that technically-oriented, and I don't blame them; you buy a new machine, you expect the latest software. You may have just purchased the CPU yesterday, but the driver versions (partcularly sound card drivers) installed may be months old. For the vast majority of applications, this presents no problem at all. MYST, however, is as state-of-the-art as we can make it. And you must give your hardware manufacturer (sound card, video board, and CD-ROM player) the opportunity to be state-of- the-art as well. So I would once again like to thank Mr. Trevena for distributing this valuable information. It applies across the board to all currently available sound cards (and video cards, and CD-ROM drivers). Update those drivers! The sound card, video board, and CD-ROM manufacturers update constantly to accomodate new software releases that exploit features of Windows/MPC not previously anticipated. Most of them have very friendly BBS's. You must give the manufacturer of your hardware the opportunity to do their best, by downloading their most current software. And then let us know. We are always looking for ways to improve our products.

If it is, the following is useless, ignore me. <G> I also have a PB, and have found in a number of cases that a separate VESA driver helps strange problems with the HT/V7 cards. The best I've found is "Univesa 3.2". It can be found many places, but>> I found it on the Virgin board (seems to work well with T7G on many systems, mine works fine on T7G without the driver). On a number of VESA-driven DOS games, even the most recent designed-for-V7 VESA drivers were inferior to UNIVESA32. So, if this IS a DOS game and is VESA compatible, check around for Univesa 3.2, and if you can't find it locally, call Virgin's BBS at 714-833-3305. Again, I have NO idea if this is even a VESA game or a DOS game, I just wanted to toss out that hint to a fellow PB owner. the be-sure-to-buy-and-play-7th-Guest KCMOSHer =============== Reply 6 of Note 1 ================= Board: GAMES BB Topic: CD-ROM ENTERTAINMENT Subject: MYST-TECH PROBLEMS To: WVHG41A JODY HAWKE Date: 03/02 From: XHVN83A CAROLE ODELL Time: 8:49 PM Hi Jody - I believe we spoke today about a General Fault in Module QCMC.OTC.

I also checked Windows and the only task that is running is Program Manager. The only thing I did accomplish is how to use my sound card with DOS 6.2. Do you have any more suggestions?

It's a mixed bag, maybe since it's early in the release cycle they will add a little personal touch to their phone support. - Stan =============== Reply 8 of Note 1 ================= Board: GAMES BB Topic: CD-ROM ENTERTAINMENT Subject: MYST-TECH PROBLEMS To: YVBA27A RICHARD GILMORE Date: 03/03 From: GARA29A STANLEY TREVENA Time: 1:04 AM Richard, I did think for a "bloody" minute. I got the game right out of the UPS box at the store on Saturday. I do not expect a software company to test every combination of every system available to man. What I do expect is some testing on those products that make up the top 30-40% of the market. What does this game rely on? Video drivers can be had that are standard, Microsoft just released their batch of new "standard" drivers on CIS and Support On Site For Applications CD (among other places). That's what's nice about Windows, some form of standards that are enforced. The OEM drivers are usually for sound cards and CD's. I have a Pro Audio Studio card and an NEC Double Speed CD-ROM. These two items are very mainstream. If I were releasing a game, I would at least test those hardware items that are in this ranking. Panasonic and Hitachi are two other popular drives, as are Sony's. The SoundBlaster series is the other biggie in the sound card arena. Let's not forget Roland. Sure, I don't expect them to test Joe's Waveblaster, or Mikioto's Compatible with EVERYTHING for $19 sound card that you see in the aisles at Comdex (right next to the hot dog stands). . My drivers were only a few months out of date according to MediaVision. This game has been in development for a lot longer than a few months. I would think that the sound driver and other drivers would be based on versions that were not released in the past few months. SORRY, but in my book having the source of the problem be a sound driver for a large market share holder is an major oversight on someone's part. Sue me, that's my opinion. . My other objection was simply the way the call was handled, two days in a row. Would you simply have them turn off their tech lines for new games until the game has been out for a month, two months, maybe three? They could just answer the phone and say, "Sorry, that game was just released, please call back in a few weeks and we might have found out who's fault it is by then" ??? With the proliferation of on-line services like Prodigy, AOL, and Compuserve, the information flows quickly and if a company has people watching these boards they can get the feedback they need quickly (hats off to Broderbund, they are here and doing just that). To come across arrogant on a tech support line telling the customer that even when the problem is found, it's going to be the other guys problem to update their drivers is not the way to do it. It really doesn't matter to me if this turns out to be the case, take the time to work with your customers politely (even if it is the 50th call of the day for the same problem). I manage a 500+ installation of networked PC's, Midranges, and Mini's and it takes a special type of person to put on a "happy" phone voice to answer a question for the 1,000th time, I can't. . My argument lies in the lack of testing for a mainstream sound board and an apparent lack of patience and overall arrogant manner on a tech support line. Those are two mistakes that can do real damage to a games success. To their credit they did supply a long list of tech BBS's and made the statement of current drivers in their documentation. Here's to improvement in both areas in the future for Broderbund..... - Stan =============== Reply 9 of Note 1 ================= Board: GAMES BB Topic: CD-ROM ENTERTAINMENT Subject: MYST-TECH PROBLEMS To: RXPP35A STEVEN HASTINGS Date: 03/04 From: UDDD85A CHUCK BACHELDER Time: 1:07 AM Hey Steven, I also have the same headland video card and have the same problems with QuickTime movies, and Myst isn't the only game that has that problem. I also spent hours calling tech support #'s having no success. I have the latest driver's for the headland card that are on Packard's BBS which are dated july 21, 1993. I called Packard Bell Tech and they >> Said that the latest drivers they show are dated Sept '93, so I asked if they would put them on the bbs. They should already be on there was their reply. Well their not I said so he said he could ship them to me. I said how long til I get them, 3-4weeks they said. I then asked if he was sending them pony express, he didn't find that ammusing and said since the earthquake things have backed up. Understandable, so anyway I took back Myst and will wait til the new drivers come in and I'll try them with some other QuickTime movie files I have. If you have any luck yourself with it let me know.

I also wanted to respond to Mr. Gilmore's response as well as the Broderbund reps response, but I did not have the time to do so. You summed it up very well. I too work for a software development firm which creates an automation system for independent insurance agents. It seems software companies take a "pass the buck" approach to solving problems. Our company would be out of business if we dropped the ball like Broderbund has. You would think that after all the people having problems with MYST MPC writing on the BB Broderbund would get on the problems fast. It is no longer a few users having problems. I also took some offense to the Broderbund reps comment about most users not being that computer literate. On the contrary, most users are very computer literate. With products like MYST out there they have to be. It seems like most people who have written notes on the bb have done some kind of trouble-shooting before they called support. As a matter of fact, I think at this point the people who have had the problems with MYST know more about the product then Broderbund support. You should never assume a users intelligence. I think all the people having problems with MYST would appriciate a little more effort from Broderbund. How hard would it be to supply the compatible drivers ont he Broderbund BBS? Somehow I do not think it would be very hard at all since they probably already have them. This would go a long way towards showing users they really want to help. =============== Reply 14 of Note 1 ================= Board: GAMES BB Topic: CD-ROM ENTERTAINMENT Subject: MYST-TECH PROBLEMS To: GARA29A STANLEY TREVENA Date: 03/10 From: DVRH18A KEN GRAHAM Time: 12:40 PM Stan, I had the same exact problem and I think the problem is the use of the Apple Quick Time video playing process.

Did you read the readme text that came with the game? It does address different sound cards. Are you sure you have all the right drivers loaded in windows? I have a PAS.. so I'm not real sure about the SB card. But if you don't have the right drivers loaded, that can also create problems. If nothing else seems to help, try a different IRQ. I think I have mine set to Irq 5 and dma 1>> for the soundblaster portion of my card. Changing the irq in windows shouldn't be hard.

You will need it at the very end, after you solve the fireplace.

To: ALL Date: 03/06 From: GWXS94A JOE EIERS Time: 12:59 PM I just got this game. I read that in MANY reviews that the music was a BIG plus in the game. In the reviews here I see the same comments. WHERE'S THE MUSIC!!!! I do get a LITTLE BIT here and there, but DEFINATELY not as background as I go through the game. Dissappointng. I think the music I hear would add nicely to the game. Am I missing something?? Joe
