My thoughts exactly. Did people back then really enjoy myst or do they just pretend to be nostalgic for it because it makes them sound smart to the other people who are also pretending to be nostalgic for it?

I honestly enjoyed it. And I won it. It was very difficult and I did need help from my brother at one specific spot, but I won it. Now Riven, no one enjoyed Riven.

Played through it for the first time when the remake came out and really enjoyed it, no nostalgia here.

It's certainly not for everyone, not for any big brain elitist reasons, it's just a game you want to sit down with a notepad and play which isn't what everyone wants out of a leisure experience. But some people watch trains go by with their notepads out and I don't understand them either.
