I went out garage sale-ing this past week (this is where you get out all your junk you dont want and sell it in your front yard) and found the original Myst for $1. I actually bought this at one time but returned it (when you could actually return video games) Well ive always wanted to go back and give it another shot, as I never finished the game when I had it the first time(I was young and impatient 😀 )
Well now that I had my copy I had to decide when to try and run it. First I tried wine with not much success, it kept complaining about not finding the CD. Plan B: I had already setup win 3.1 in 0.72 a while back and since the game had both 16 bit and 32 bit versions I gave that a try next.
I downloaded the new version 0.73 and fired up win 3.1 and installed the game and presto it was working.
Ive since then also complied a linux version and it works also with a iso image I made of the disc.
So i just thought I would share and thanks to the dev's for bringing back dos and 16 bit windows.
