Ahhh good memories!
The world needs more wholesome entertainment like this.
Before MYST was a series of games known as “King’s Quest.”
Similar puzzle solving program that was written on a level kids could enjoy, too. I can remember playing with my two daughters...working as a team to solve the problems....when we picked up a “rotten” tomato. It said “put me down or I’ll juice all over you!” We laughed about that for days.
As I said...good times. Good family memories.
We used to play KQ after work in the office because it was the only computer powerful enough to play it (IBM Model 55). All we had at home were XT 10’s with 5 1/4” floppies. KQ came on 3.5” diskette.
