Real MYST is a recreation of the original MYST game in realtime 3D. It also has some new features, such as weather, and the new "Rime" age. While the original disc version is generally regarded as incompatible with newer OS's, the newer GOG.com and Steam versions are relatively stable.

The only way to run the game on Linux is through Wine. It works fine after installing [http://www.free-codecs.com/download_soft.php?d=5794&s=188 These video Codecs]. Installing the codecs will "fail", but the game will run fine after that.

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/63600/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (63600) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
