The original Myst is revamped for the new millennium, in 3D: dynamic and fully interactive with day and night condition cycles, changing weather, and real-time lighting effects. Unlike in the original version, with its "screen by screen" navigation and pre-rendered images that represented locations, realMyst allows the player to physically explore the game's world and includes a fully rotatable camera. The remake also adds a fifth "Age" (a world created by the power of human imagination), called the Rime Age, and a new available ending. (MobyGames)

After Dark: Myst Screen Saver

Application file:

mystscreensaver.sit

a-dark-3-prefs.sit

After Dark Screen Saver modules of the game Myst. In a slide-show format. Covers all of the "Ages" in the game Myst. You can opt to install one or more or all of the modules. This was a give-away promotion. The source of this installer was from MacFormat magazine issue 40, August 1996 CD.

MD5 checksum: 54e17afffb1f755f4dc19f39ef717483 *mystscreensaver.sit

Compatibility:

Runs on a 68020 CPU, Mac OS 7.0 or newer. Does not run on Mac OS 9. - I wouldn't attempt it even on 8.0 or newer without updating the After Dark Engine vers. 3.0 that this installs 1st. You are probably safe to use this as is with a Mac OS from vers. 7.0 to 7.6.1

Not native PPC but will run on PPC OK given the right conditions.

Note: If you opt for the full install or install the Selenitic Tour module individually, the installer claims the image "Selene20.JPG may be damaged, use with caution", It can be safely deleted (there are over 200 images in total, you won't miss one less).

[Warning:] The After Dark Engine that gets installed is version 3.0b - I think the "b" stands for buggy. In the installation process it creates on Basilisk II (perhaps other Macs too), a corrupt Preferences file in the System Folder's Preferences Folder in its own "After Dark Preferences" folder. What happens is; after installing you need to reboot your Mac. After booting up, After Dark immediately starts and locks you out of your computer. It asks for a nonexistent password (not the provided installation password) and you have no option but to crash your Mac and start up with Extensions turned off.

The Workaround:
[a] Replace the installed corrupt Preferences with the supplied working After Dark Preferences file from the above 2nd Download link on this page, named "a-dark-3-prefs.sit". Better: Preempt the corrupt Prefs file before you install the screen saver by extracting the After Dark Prefs folder from the "a-dark-3-prefs.sit" file and placing this folder inside of your System Folder's Preferences folder.
[b] Alternatively; Install the After Dark 4.0 (Engine) from here at the Macintosh Garden. And only install the Myst Saver Modules by choosing only the modules that you want to Install. That is, don't choose a Full Install or elect to install the After Dark Engine 3 from the Myst Screen Saver Installer. This would give better compatibility with newer Mac OS's too.

The Manhole CD-ROM Masterpiece Edition

Attila — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 17:56:34 +0000

The Manhole is a computer adventure game intended for children in which the player opens a manhole and reveals a gigantic beanstalk that can be climbed either up or down, leading to fantastic worlds in either case. [...] The Manhole is a notable computer game because like Cosmic Osmo and Spelunx it has no goal and no end; the object is simply to explore and have fun.

Spelunx and the Caves of Mr. Seudo (b&w)

IIGS_User — Wed, 06 May 2009 16:21:03 +0000

Spelunx and the Caves of Mr. Seudo was an educational computer game developed by Cyan in 1991. It was designed by the brothers Robyn and Rand Miller (now better known as the creators of Myst). The game was programmed and implemented using HyperCard, with Robyn Miller hand-drawing all of the in-game graphics and scenery. The game's title is derived from the verb "to spelunk", referring to the act of exploring caves.
