As a young teen just clicking on stuff to see what happens, I seem to remember it just presented as a folder on the desktop in Win95, and I couldn't figure out why there was a folder there with it's own special name & icon, lol.

I do remember that MS Bob, that you could sort a decorate your virtual house that acted as an elaborate, visually cluttered app launcher. That was a neat way to waste like 2 hours.

Well that was my Packard story thanks for reading god bless you and god bless the United States of America.

3D Megadoodoo posted:I never did beat Myst. Is there a good ending? (No spoilers PLEASE) yeah. it is still well worth playing as well, with the caveat that one should stand very prepared to cheat a bit on the more contrived puzzles (just bookmark this http://www.uhs-hints.com/uhsweb/myst.php ).

the reremaster on steam with full 3d and free motion is nice too, sticks to the old puzzles, and has a little epilogue that ties into later games as an easter egg

myst, and the stoneship age in particular, were basically background music to my computer usage in the 90s and nicely relaxing that reminded me of a funny tech thing: i didnt realize id gotten into a very early phase of testing for uru (myst online) because they had sent the acceptance email in-character and it looked like academic spam. it probably was super clever, arg style too, and fun for fans really tied into the development but it missed me entirely because i was too busy to follow them at the time
