Is the difference between Myst and Real Myst just updated graphics.
It's nice to be important but it is much more important to be nice.

My first game was also Myst. My sister got me started on adventure games and we played together over the phone. We talked as we played and helped each other that way. It was fun. We spent hours on the phone and would save in the same place and continue!

My fist video game was King's Quest (one of the first) it was all green and we played on a PC AT with a hard disk of 10MB could you believe it hehe!. My friend and I, we made all sorts of written coloured design plan trying to decipher it. What a lot of fun we had. I bought all kind of fairytales books to make researchs as a walkthrough.

My first adventure game was Hugo's House of Horrors, you had to type in just the right words to go forward, it really was a "horror" to play. Kings Quest seemed so 'high tech' after that! Copper

My first computer game wasn't adventure. It was from SSI (Strategic Simulations Inc.)It was a trilogy from 1991 called Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, 1: The Champions of Krynn, 2: Death Knights of Krynn, 3: The Dark Queen of Krynn. After that it was all Sierra until I found GameBoomers & found out there were a lot more games out there that I would love, & the rest is history because now I'm an addict.

Anybody remember:
The Kyrandia series Altered Destiny Countdown Les Manley Rex Nebular Clara Bow Never heard of that last one, though I've played both Laura Bow games. The only Clara Bow I know of was a movie actress of the 1920's. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001966/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1What a horrible life she had -- nothing at all like the carefree "It Girl" she played in the movie. Imagine having your mother try to slit your throat the way hers did.

Hi space quest
Like I wrote my fist game was King's quest (don't remember the title, it had "rumplestliskin" in if as a puzzle) the second was Rosella. I was a great fan of Sierra Luca's art.
