The grand videogame thread

[Chrischa]

I loved Myst! It took me over a year to play through it and it was such a fascinating, mysterious world. One of the first video games I ever played (hence my slow playthrough... give me some leeway). I remember spending weeks just on the first island, not even knowing what on Earth you were even supposed to do.
I also got pretty far in Riven but never finished it, it was a bit too hard and by that time I also had constant Internet acces, which allowed me to read a guide everytime I got stuck, but which actually took away a lot of the fun.

And I remember the notes, too... I had five pages full by the time I drifted out of playing Riven. I also made a map of the entire maze underneath the lighttower world in Myst.
Did any of you ever play any of the following sequals? I believe there were 5 in total, weren't there?

There was actually a book written around the world of Myst, I remember reading a library copy and it was pretty good, but I haven't seen it since nor do I remember the title.
I have a book written around the world of The Elder Scrolls on the way as well, I'm curious what that will be like.
