If you do, you can't run Itunes.Don't buy the game. As it turns out, you have to downgrade Quicktime to an old version to make it work. Sorry, there will be other games, this one's a ripoff. I bought Myst Anniversary Edition for my son, who loves puzzles. Unfortunately, all I get is a black screen with a hand and no option but to kill the window.
Extremely deceptive. Only Myst III Exile can even run on OSX, and you have to install Rosetta Stone to do it. I would be returning this product if my wife didn't happen to have an old PC to run it on.BOOO. This game is listed as being Mac compatible, but it only runs on mac OS 9. It is absurd to call it mac compatible when OS9 hasn't been sold in years.
Hours of fun. This game is a must for those who love adventure games, and mind challenges. Loved every minute of it. I will be playing it again in the future. This particular version of the myst game suits very well for Vista. The graphics are beautiful.
Someone who enjoys puzzle solving will love this game. I recommend Myst to everyone. For people that like action or shooting games, or have very little patience, I would stay away. Great games. Beautiful scenery.
Experiment too, because each game has a few endings (only one is the -right- ending, but you can see the other cinematics too - save often).The images are stunning (especially considering when these were made), the puzzles are engaging, the soundtrack is FANTASTIC, and the storyline twists and turns in intriguing ways. I had to struggle with it a little until I figured out the trick. Enjoy. Install the Quicktime that comes with the DVD for each respective game (Quicktime 6.__, I believe).4.
I loved these games, Riven especially.One issue that some people may worry about is compatibility with Windows Vista. I literally had a shiver run up my spine during certain parts because of the music.If you enjoy these games, I would recommend the rest of the Myst games as well, though I have not gotten to Uru yet (but have heard great things about it).I hope that my review was helpful. I recently decided to go back and play the entire Myst series from the beginning, starting with this set. I had never played Myst before this, though I had an inkling of how the game played. Since I think everyone should play these games, if you have Vista and want this to run:1. This game uses Quicktime as a major component, and newer versions of Quicktime just don't really work.3.
If you have the chance, I recommend listening to the game with headphones, because it is a lot more immersive. Run the game. These games are a little unstable, though I had a minimal amount of problems. Unraveling the mysteries and puzzles and exploring this beautiful world is such a reward for a little frustration and confusion. Install the game normally (I installed them one at a time).2. They are still very much playable, and WELL WORTH THE MONEY.If you are having trouble with the Myst games at first, just keep at it. Well, I have completed all three of the games now, and what an experience.
You do NOT need to run it in compatibility mode, as it will give errors if you do.Another word of advice: Save often. It is free to get Quicktime off the internet so you can get it afterwards. This will run fine on Windows XP or a Mac as far as I can tell. Uninstall any Quicktime version that is on your computer.
