Not Your Usual Adventure Game 0
Back in '93, this was a game bursting with beautiful graphics. The world was lonely but had a really solid feel to each of the five Ages. Personally the main source for excitement was being able to play a full-blown PC game on a Macintosh, for once.Although the game had a simple layout the puzzles in each of the Ages were surprisingly difficult, sometimes feeling nearly impossible when tied in with the fact the player was thrown into it all with no explanation or tutorials.

Disappointing But Still Myst 0
Unless the player has already played Myst on a PC or console first, there is no way this game could be nearly as enjoyable as a stand-alone.

Originally released in 1993 via floppy disk, the game has been rereleased and reissued over the years on CD-ROM with higher quality and improvements. The game is supposedly based on Jules Verne's Mysterious Island, hence its name.
