That allowed you to give yourself a nudge without spoiling the whole puzzle. The diary was a nice touch not only because it added a bit of narrative to the world but also because it gently provided you with clues without revealing the solution right away. It was a brilliant format, and split the book into two parts: a diary of the 'Everyman' ('Everywoman'?) who documented their journey through the world, and a straightforward 'Do this, then that to solve the puzzle' walkthrough. That was the official Prima Strategy Guide for the game, and it's how I finished the game as well! There was no way seven year old me would have gotten close otherwise. Took a lot of page flipping and walkthrough searching to figure that one out. Though the Riven one gave me a bit of trouble because the diary didn't mention that the codes were randomized. I loved reading through both strategy guides just for that diary, and must have done so at least fifty or sixty times.

They kept the same format for the Riven Strategy Guide. This edition features improvements over the original 1993 release. As cd adventures go, it's closer in style to what you would expect from a normal adventure game than most of the others. You will be able to interact with objects via click-and-drag, and move through the world via point-and-click navigation. Myst is yet another cd game that has had rave reviews for the Apple Mac version and, consequently, been given a new lease of life on the pc. The diary was a nice touch not only because it added a bit of narrative to the world but also because it gently provided you with clues without revealing the solution right away. Myst: Masterpiece Edition, released in 2000, is as close to the 1993 experience of playing Myst as you can get.
