Empire Brings Myst DS Stateside

The game that captured the hearts and minds of millions of players around the world back in 1993 has returned yet again, as Empire Interactive announces Cyan World’s classic point and click adventure game Myst for the Nintendo DS, coming to North America this March. Released late last year in Europe to a somewhat lukewarm receptions, Myst DS is a recreation of the original game that includes re-mastered video and a whole new age to explore in the Rime Age. The lower screen of the DS acts as the original game, with the top screen providing information as well as allowing you to view magnified images using the magnifying glass, one of several useful new tools included to aid in DS gameplay. Having played Myst countless times on countless systems I have nothing but fond memories for the title, but I can’t see myself picking up another version, Rime Age or no. Still, if you’ve never experienced the game and have a bit of patience, Myst DS could be an excellent way to catch up with one of gaming’s classic titles.
