Memories Of Myst (Myst Jam 2016) Mac OS

Posted on  by

Did you know it’s still possible to run the original version of Myst on modern Mac OS X? Here’s how to do it.

Myst V: End of Ages improves upon a series that's already regarded as a high point in gaming. In this chapter, you'll embark on an epic journey into the heart of a shattered empire. You're the only explorer with a chance of saving it - but you may also destroy it with the wrong choices. In OS 9: Open the System Folder/Extensions and trash the QuickTime, QuickTime MPEG, QuickTime PowerPlug, QuickTime VR extension as well as the QuickTime Extensions Folder. This version of QuickTime doesn’t work with Myst, so we will use the version on the Myst CD. Open the 800Meg hard drive and mount Myst.cdr using Disc Copy. Memories of Myst - a Myst fan-game that re-creates Myst's miniature ship puzzle created for Myst Jam. Super Happy Sun Fun - a pyototype exploration/movement puzzle game with a focus of gravity and inertia. Voices of the Past - a first person text oriented interactive fiction work initially created for the first TasJam.

What you will need:

  • Original Mac Myst CD
  • “Chubby Bunny” Classic on Intel software
