Myst III: Exile Re-Release on Kickstarter

The bad news for MacOS users is that most of the re-released games won't work on their systems. However, there's still some good news to be found. The games have been updated to run on 'modern systems,' but with a catch - those who purchase the digital copies will need to navigate the complexities of installing and running the games.

For fans of the Myst series, this re-release is a dream come true. Cyan, the original developers, have managed to secure the rights to all seven games in the franchise and are offering them as one big box set on Kickstarter. The campaign launched this morning with a goal of raising $247,500, but has already smashed through that target and is currently sitting at over $500,000.

So what can fans expect from this re-release? For starters, there will be digital copies of each game available for download. For those who want a more tangible experience, there's also the option to purchase DVD copies in a box designed to look like a Myst book. The top-tier package includes some real-world goodies, such as a recreation of Gehn's pen and inkwell from the game, as well as original concept art.

The games themselves have been re-mastered for modern systems, with realMyst: Masterpiece - a 3D remake of the original game released in 2000 - included in the package. The game that started it all, Myst III: Exile, is also part of the collection.

For those who are new to the series, Myst was a groundbreaking game when it was first released in 1993. It was a puzzle-adventure game that transported players to mysterious worlds and challenged them to solve complex puzzles. The game's success spawned a franchise with seven games, and its influence can still be seen in many modern games today.

As we approach the game's 25th anniversary, it's clear that Myst has left a lasting impact on the gaming world. Whether you're a nostalgic fan of the original game or just discovering it for the first time, this re-release is an opportunity to experience the series as never before. So why not take a step through one of the game's famous Linking books and see where it takes you?
