Just past the well is another switch to flip. Return to the library and head down the path towards a well. Walk along a narrow path behind the library to a spaceship, and flip a marker switch here. Don't enter here yet, but remember where it is for later. Pick up the note from the ground and read it.Ĭontinue along the path and take the right branch to flip another marker switch, then return to the main path and note the building on the right - the library.

Climb part way back down the stairs and turn right to find a path leading to a planetarium. Climb the spiral stairs to the large gears and flip a second marker switch. Walk forward along the dock and you will see the first marker switch (on the right) - flip this and all subsequent switches so they are up. If you absolutely have to play Myst, the game is best experienced with a monitor and mouse, so find a version that will run on your PC instead.Start by clicking on the book, then on the picture of Myst Island to enter the game. Graphical glitches and poorly-implemented stylus interface round out this dubious port. The DS-specific addition of a note-taking feature also falls flat, since instead of a logical doodle-pad to use with the stylus, you're given a type-writer to laboriously peck out sentences key by key. On the DS, however, graphics are compressed and low-resolution, which means that walking around no longer has the air of discovery and wonder which gained the original game such praise.

And let's face it, one of the most compelling things about Myst, back in the day, were the graphics - which were some of the first to take advantage of new CD-ROM technology and for the time were pretty breathtaking.

The puzzles in the original PC version of Myst were obscure to begin with, but on the DS they're even more difficult to decipher owing to the tiny screen size and lack of mouse curser.
