Frustration is paramount: I am on the StoneAge ship. I have the correct compass direction (135 degrees), have been into the compass room so many times I have lost count, have recharged my batteries endless times, but STILL I cannot crack the code and move to the next segment of this part of the game. Is this a glitch, or am I missing something very obvious. I am on oldie just beginning these sort of games! Can someone here put me out of my misery?

Yes, I played the original and was blown away by the ambient sounds. I'm still amazed that every game I've played since pays such scant attention to ambience. Amazingly, I haven't got stuck yet, though I got very close a couple of times. I'm also amazed that I can't remember how to solve any of the puzzles - had to work it all out from scratch again.

It's better than the original due to the touch interface. I'm already stuck. That sure takes me back... :-) It's very well done on the iPhone. It's a great puzzle game that requires persistence, and luckily it's been long enough since I played the PC version that I remember none of the solutions.

The original only plays in Classic and then still not so well, am I right? I wish they'd just release a version that, you know, we can actually play on a Mac purchased today.

I had the nintendo DS port, and that was /terrible/. The graphics were horribly grainy and low-res, worse than the ancient color Mac I played it on when it came out in '93; the movies appeared in weird blurry rectangles, completely unintegrated into the background scene; it took ages to react to clicks, and the animations and transitions were slow as mud, or, often, missing -- for example, the wall panel in the viewing room next to the dock, which, in the original game, had a nice animation of it sliding open, whereas in the DS version it just blinked open with no animation at all. Anyway, long story shot, I'm a huge fan of Myst (well, at least the first two games and the novels), But I'm not paying six bucks, or even one, without some assurance that it's a good port. Not after I got burned on the DS one. I'm interested, but is it a good implementation? I had the nintendo DS port, and that was /terrible/.
