Into the Myst with the DS

My introduction into computer gaming was with the game Myst. Its photo-realism blew my mind away and its complex puzzles enamored me. It was the first game that actually took my breath when I first laid eyes on it.

Now, thanks to Nintendo’s innovative DS I can relive it all over again. The game will have re-vamped sounds and video and will also have an extra world, known as Rime, to explore. It is being published by Midway and developed by Cyan Worlds with the original source code being tweaked for the DS release. We should be able to get our hands on the game this Fall (2007).

This re-release for the DS makes perfect sense to me as these types of adventure games really complement the touch screen play of the system. Hopefully we will see more of these types of titles down the line for the Nintendo DS and, if you haven’t played this game yet, I highly recommend it for the PC. Whether this version stands up to the original we’ll just have to wait and see.
