Remastered 'Myst Mobile' Game Now Available on iPhone and iPad

[MacRumors]

It has been 30 years since popular puzzle game Myst first came out, and to celebrate the anniversary, developer Cyan today announced the launch of a new remastered "Myst Mobile" game that is available for the iPhone and the iPad.

As our sister site TouchArcade notes, there was a prior version of the original Myst game available for iOS devices all the way back in 2009, but this is an updated version that is free to download and play.

Myst can be played on devices that have an A12 chip or later, or an M1 or M2 chip. Cyan says that the game has been optimized for M1 devices and runs supercharged on M2 chips in particular, with graphics that rival console graphics. The game supports keyboards and trackpads, as well as gamepads.

All of Myst Island is accessible for no cost, and those who want to play more can unlock the Ages beyond Myst Island add-on for a one-time purchase of $14.99. There is a launch promotion right now that drops the price down to $9.99.

Myst Mobile can be downloaded from the App Store starting today. [Direct Link]

This is wonderful but I really don't want to play it on my phone!

So just the regular island is free, the other islands are in-app purchases. Got it. It was fun for its time.

I remember when it was quite the craze. I remember trying to play it years later but it was just not my thing.

 

[Nermal]

Now remaster Riven already!

Edit: Oh, apparently they are.

 

[jcshas]

Wow, what took them so long?!

How can this game be 30?

I remember playing this game on my dad's lap when I was a kid. He's been gone 5 years.

Where does the time even go?

It appears that there's a Mac version in the App Store, but it's quite a bit more expensive.

The other islands were different games. If I've got it right, this is a promo for the remastered versions of the other games. They were much more involved than the original Myst so $14 seems like a good deal for people who loved the games.


Edit: Oops. It's just the main island. Not much nostalgia there. Oh well, it's a good intro for newbies to the game.

Sorry for your loss. Now I feel old, which I am. Myst was one of the first of its kind in immersive video games.

 

[BornAgainMac]

I wish I can play Star Wars Battlefront 2 on my iPad / iPhone.

 

[vegetassj4]

Now make a phone that can play Crysis already.

It should work. The original game wasn't that high resolution, so I'm not sure what you'd be missing out on.

When Apple puts out their headset, I think it is games like these that I'm going to love the most.

 

[njvan-2]

Makes me wish Apple cared even 10% more about gaming.

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

Wow! It looks pretty incredible. Nice!!!

 

[fatTribble]

Love it when older games like these are given some love! 🥰

I'm playing it now on my new M2 Mac Mini. Still a great puzzle game after all these years.

 

[macdisciple]

Randomly decided to launch Riven on my iPhone for the first-time in years last night. Love the sound track. Anxious to play remastered versions.

 

[Amazing Iceman]

How can this game be 30?

And had better graphics than Minecraft...?

 

[macduke]

So we've got remasters of remasters?

Somewhere the CEO of Bethesda is rubbing his hands together feverishly. Also George Lucas/Disney.

So just the regular island is free, the other islands are in-app purchases. Got it. It was fun for its time.

I don’t consider the 14.99 an in app purchase - like coins, upgrades, subscriptions, etc. They aren’t trying to nickel and dime you. If you enjoy the regular island buy the game for a one time 9.99/14.99.

I much prefer this over other app sales practices.

Anyone recall the text only game Zork? I remember seeing a computer & screen in a department store and sat down to explore Zork @ 3PM, after an hour the department store was closing, it was 9PM and dark outside. It was my first experience of the time suck that computers could offer! 😵‍💫👀

I still have it on my G3

"Thanks for playing Zork!"

(or something to that effect)
