Myst, Riven, Uru, The Manhole, and more 60% off this weekend only.

Go on a [url=http://www.gog.com/promo/cyan_weekend_promo_7_12_12]Myst-ical adventure! One of the highlights of gaming is the ability to traverse through amazing imaginary lands, teeming with marvelous things just waiting to be discovered. A mystery at every turn, a otherworldly breathtaking view atop every hill, strange creatures, mysterious contraptions, forgotten civilizations--all of it right in front of you, on your computer screen. In the business of inventing such fantastic lands, Cyan Worlds Inc. remains one of unquestioned leaders. Why? Just look at these games:

Myst: Masterpiece Edition (or Real Myst), , [url=http://www.gog.com/gamecard/uru_complete_chronicles]Uru: Complete Chronicles, and Myst 5: The End of Ages take you on an incredible journey through the half-imaginary worlds called "Ages" and challange you to unravel the secrets of their mysterius creators. It's an unforgettable experience that no fan of puzzle-packed adventure games should miss.

The Manhole: Masterpiece Edition is something entirely different from everything you might have experienced in your virtual journeys. It may seem, that it's addressed to children--whimsical graphics and a story full of magic suggest so--but its surreal charm will delight gamers of all ages. If you're looking for something balancing on the fine edge of weirdness, be sure to give it a try!

Immerse yourself in the fantastic realms created by Cyan Worlds Inc.! Begin your fantastic journey right now by visiting the Myst-iclal promo page!

And in case you missed it, here's what's new on GOG.com!

Barry_Woodward: Pyst
avatar
the_bard: There's one named Pyst? Surely they were taking the pys? -__-
It's a parody made by disgruntled gamers who hated the original Myst. If I recall correctly, the premise is essentially that you're wandering around the original Myst island, but with a flamethrower.

Anyone else have weird issues with Manhole? i've had weird screen glitches (and all different depending on whether I'm on my XP, Vista, Win 7 machines). I'm pretty sure it's a user issue (I'm pretty stupid) but never heard anything back on forums.

Is there a script that I can download for Myst? I am a gamer who is deaf and Myst does not seem to have subtitles available to me.

Any ideas?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyst
The basic concept of Pyst was to show what Myst Island (from the best-selling game) would look like after four million people (players) had visited and "explored". Pyst Island is full of litter, most of the buildings are ruined, and graffiti reveals secret doors and solutions to puzzles that challenged players in Myst.

Aww, Myst promos always make me all misty inside. I'll have to break open the boxset again I think... damn I've got a thing for this series.
I'd definitely buy Pyst though!

It was made by a company called Parroty Software who... "specialized"... in making parody game packs. Some of their work includes Star Warped (which I own, but have never opened), The X-Fools, and Micro$haft Winblows 98.

He was, he even has a single song in the game.

I bought a copy of it ages ago and sold it for a pretty penny. Then I found a sealed copy last year and it's worth nothing now. :P

StingingVelvet: I never played past Riven and call me a jerk but I don't want to buy 5 without having 3 and 4 first.
That's totally reasonable i do the same thing

Myst has been on my wishlist since the days of the PSX, but I never got around to buying it. Well, rather later than never, I'm taking advantage of this promo and giving the first one a try.
