Before purchasing this product, do a quick web search on Riven to read about all the compatibility problems that people have had with this game. I followed the recommendations on the Ubisoft web page including: Changing the compatibility mode of the game; Uninstalling Quicktime 7 and installing an earlier version; and downloading the Riven patch (which was released before the game itself), and was never able to get this game to work at all. Very disappointing.

The 10th Aniversary DVD edition of Myst-Riven-Exile is a great value. We've had no problems loading the games onto our computer (which runs on Windows XP Home). My son and I have enjoyed playing Myst and have moved on to Riven.

MYST is certainly a marvelously-engineered game, with near-seamless scrolling, careful attention to sounds and minor deviations in graphical terrain, and, for the most part, very logical puzzles. At its best, it is also highly immersive and addictive.
The game does require meticulous note-taking however, especially if you leave the game for a few weeks and come back (Literally - I have an entire journal devoted to the MYST series, with my own diagrams, sketches taken from various puzzles and books, etc.). And while nearly all of the puzzles make sense, or can be addressed through trial and error, there are a few which contain a logical gap, where even when all the parts are in place, the puzzle's solution just isn't quite graspable. There are in-game hints, which are nice if you're really in a bind, but using the game's hint database makes it hard to have that feeling of accomplishment, and should thus be used sparingly.
In addition, the game's format, namely a series of logic-driven puzzles, limits its replay factor. Yes, the graphics are exceptionally good for their time, and have weathered the ages well, but with all the puzzles done, there is little to do but wander through and enjoy the vistas.
Nevertheless, this series played flawlessly on a Mac running OS 10.2.8 and Classic. Upgrading to Tiger, however, makes gameplay for the non-OSX-native games, MYST and Riven, nearly impossible.

The Riven DVD did not work on xp until I removed quicktime 7 and installed 6.3 and also set my pc to emulste windows 98. This took some time to figure out and is a common problem it seems. Myst and exile worked straight away.
