Zippy BotThe Riven Remake Arrives This Year
tiramichuI first played Riven as a child, together with my mother on the family’s first PC, which was a Pentium 133 MHz with 16 megabytes of RAM and no Internet.
At one point we got totally stuck, and after days of fruitless wandering we were forced in desperation to call the premium-rate phone number that came on a leaflet in the box, just to get some hints to the solution.
Different times.
I played every Myst game since, and I’ll probably play this too.
NullI’m with you, to this day the only puzzle that still is challenging is the marble puzzle.
The one that stumped us wasn’t even that! It was in a forest area where there is a ‘dragon’ statue and his mouth opens up to reveal a staircase to the upper level. And you do that by ::: clicking the top of one of the nearby lanterns which acts as a switch but we couldn’t find it! :::
HELL YES. I played this game as a child and loved it, it completely captured my imagination. I’ve tried to play it again recently but it’s hard to get it to work properly, and it looks pretty bad on modern screens.
I’m super excited for this. Myst 3 next hopefully, that one is fantastic too!!
