Myst Released For The iPhone
This is one of those things that sounds totally awesome for about ten seconds. Check out this announcement for your own ten second thrill:
Introducing Myst for the iPhone™ and iPod touch®. The complete worlds of Myst, in all its original elegance, in the palm of your hand. Remember how the surrealistic island became your world? The note, the garden, the books, the pages, the brothers, the choices? Now Myst can become your world no matter where in the world you are.
Okay, now that the concept is out there, consider the prospect of actually replaying Myst. The note, the garden, the books, the pages, the brothers. Yeah, all that. Again. And the choices? My choice would be to play something because it holds up and not out of nostalgia. But, yeah, it’s on the iPhone, which is actually one of the main advantages of most iPhone games.
Screen Shots From ‘Myst’ For The iPhone

A handful of screens have surfaced from the upcoming iPhone version of classic adventure game Myst, simultaneously reaffirming its existence after months of ambiguous silence and offering fans a glimpse at the game’s progress.
A beta tester, using the presumably phonetic nom de internet "Mystdee," posted the images to the Myst Online forums, saying, "I have been given permission to post a few screenshots of the Myst for iPhone so you can see it’s really happening and coming along well."
I don’t quite know what I was expecting when viewing the images, so while they’re quite obviously an aesthetically correct recreation of Myst, I feel a bit let down.
I don’t know if it’s the advances made in gaming since Myst’s "photo realistic" graphics drove the adoption of CD-ROM drives, or if I had remembered the game as more attractive than it actually was, but something about these screenshots just seems so stagnant.
