Riven: The Sequel to Myst now available for iPhone

You're thinking of Myst III: Exile. :) And for that game, the Bink video conversion toolkit is your very bestest friend ever, because the game assets can be easily decrypted using an app called Riveal that someone in the Myst community wrote, and then converted into a more interoperable format from there (though finding what you're looking for can sometimes be a challenge ;)).

I thought that *might* have been the case when I posted. At the time that I was playing it, I was too broke to spring for games at first release, but I knew it was around 2000-01 when I saw that sequence so I assumed it was Riven. I must have donated plasma a bit more that year to be able to afford Myst 3 as a new release.

Thanks for the info. Well, I guess now I'm eagerly awaiting the release of Myst III for iOS!

Oh heck yes. Myth: The Fallen Lords or Soulblighter on iPad would rock.

It needs 2GB to install, but the game itself is 1GB. Riven was indeed 5 CDs, but I was fortunate to own the DVD version. :) First DVD game I ever owned.

I agree with those above, best game ever made, period. They don't make them like this anymore.

@Cougar: Uru (Live) is still one of the best games in the Myst series, IMHO. If you want some more Myst goodness, make sure you check the multiplayer version out :)

Yes. Same here.
Best. Game. Eva.

Not everyone lives in a country where home broadband Internet is an all-you-can-eat buffet. Some of us don't live in the US, and have to pay tiered pricing depending on how much data we use.
