p.s i am just finishing Myst: revelation. Works fine on my hardware (1.33 ghz). one of the ages is a bit slow, but nothing that bothers you after a few hours. the reason i write this is that some stores say a G5 is required.

Hi!
Would you happen to know if Myst Revelation will run on Tiger OS X 10.4? Requirements state an OS version of 10.2 to 10.3.
Thanks muchly!

Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy

i have at least started it under osx10.4 to check a few things out and refreshen my memory about a few places, so yes it works. I can't guarantee every age will work, but since the ones i tested did i see no reason why not.

i just think ubi have been slow in updating their homepage.

speaking of myst i must say that revelation is my all time favorite (well, maybe riven also). myst: end of ages was a bit of a dissapointment.

Thanks very much Decado!
I've played the first 3 series on my Gater, but since I am about to receive my first Mac, I'd like to have the "classics" to play again on the new system. I'll be looking for a similiar type of game that is written for Mac - any ideas Decado?
End of Ages...hmmm - alot of "Mystites" have been disappointed with the ending so I have some reservations playing it.

i'm afraid cyan is the only ones doing these kind of games anymore
but if you are willing to play some older games i have heard nothing but good things about the journeyman-series. it was made by presto studies (and they made Myst 3: Exile for ubi soft).

for your old myst-series, i'm pretty sure that myst 1 would play well in Virtual PC (if you dont want to buy / can't find a new mac versions of the game). myst: Riven, Myst 3:exile, Revelation and End of ages are on hybrid discs so that should be no problem.

i have not so much problem with the ending of the game as i have with the feel of the entire game. the graphics just don't cut it. in previous myst titles you knew that every shadow and sound was important and there ware fantastic and surreal ages. in End of ages, due to the real-time graphics and the fact that they had to account for the fact that people would play at different resolutions, quality and sound settings, they could have no puzzles/solutions that depended on details. and they could not do very fantastic ages.
it gives the impression that it is an unfinished game with graphics that are worse that Myst 1 it should have been the most fantastic myst of them all (cyan being back and all).
