- INTRODUCTION
- ------------
-
- It's now more than four months since Myst was released, and it's time for a playable demo
- for those Amiga users who still don't own the game.
-
- Myst is #1 selling Amiga game from the day it was released.
-
- Moreover, both English and German version each *separately* outsold any other Amiga game
- since the day of its release!
-
- Myst is also #2 game of 1997 on PC. #1 is Riven:The Sequel to Myst.
-
-
- For a while we hesitated to release a playable demo, as Myst is an extremely big game
- (the biggest ever on the Amiga), and unlike any other adventure. For these reasons it is
- very hard to take one small part of it and be able to show to a new player what it is
- that makes Myst so attractive.
-
- Despite its size of 30Mb decompressed, this demo represents only about 5% of the
- whole game (600Mb). In order to keep the size reasonable, we had to choose a part
- of the game where there are not many puzzles and large QuickTime animation files.
-
-
- WHAT IS IT
- ----------
-
- It's a playable demo of a part of Mechanical island.
-
- AGA and CGFX/P96 versions of the code are included.
