I have to say Myst but Riven is a very close 2nd. Exile never ran well on my old Voodoo 3 before I got a new G4 and I haven't played it since. Then there is the issue of OSX running Exile with the update and all. So maybe Exile is better though I've never played it enough to give it a fair vote. I need to play it I know.

Myst was more revolutionary, but Exile was the better game. Amazing graphics, a great soundtrack, clever puzzles, and a good difficulty level (harder than Myst, easier than Riven). Riven was a b!tch -- I needed a strategy guide.
Be happy.

my vote went for Riven. It was fabulous. Great Sounds, Great 2D graphics. Great Plot line. Just overall great.

Some of the QT movies were a little over compressed IMO, but that's understandable. I'd like to get it on DVD and play it without having to change disks all the time.

Exile was horrible IMO. Graphics were cartoony and trying to find the pathways where you could go was an absolute nightmare. Expecially in Edanna...oh god that was impossible to see where to go...

yeah....Riven all the way!

I vote for Exile - first app/game that I saw a real difference between my AGP Radeon and a PCI Orion. Frame rates were so low on the Orion, it was unplayable on that monitor.

realMYST was the best by far. That was the way the games should have always been (they couldn't have been, I know). It looks great and plays just like MYST did. Also The first one was not as complicated as Riven.

I bought my first colour Mac (Quadra 660AV) to play Myst on.

The unreleased first person shooter version where you square off against the brothers in deathmatches over all the worlds and back and forth through time!
