Robyn and Rand Miller, the two brothers that conceived and developed the original Myst, were certainly forward thinkers. They actually designed and built a game that would be a perfect candidate for virtual reality gaming in a future time when the dream became reality. In the early s, VR was certainly alive as a concept but it was some years away from being realized in a practical way that would reach regular, middle-class households.
One of the reasons Myst continues to be popular is that it still looks great on new technology, and VR suits the original intention of total immersion perfectly. If there is but one rule that the ancient gamers could pass down to us, it is this one. Save your game almost immediately, and save as often as you remember even if you don't think you've done very much. This isn't a substitute for writing things down, so make sure you don't think that one can replace the other. Don't make the mistake of using only one save slot, either.
