From the lens The Book of MYST: The Stranger's Journal.

So, what do you think? Do you remember MYST? Rivenguild? The DRC? Do you write down PIN numbers in D'ni? Feel free to drop a note!

    It is great to see this journal still available on the web. I remember when a person who I highly respected made this creation and shared it with the MystCommunity. But I haven't seen her in years Sep for det lense still showing her work.

    Shorah! There's a name I haven't seen in a while!

    It's still me. (:jackal:) I keep waffling over whether to move this back to my personal website, since squidoo.com's interface is -- not exactly aesthetically pleasing -- but I've gotten more readers here. (And it's earned about ten bucks for that charity mentioned at the top... not useful, but hey, somewhere, there's a free library book that was funded by means of this one.)

    I always meant to continue my MYST journal and do RIVEN as well. Now that I have RIVEN on my iPad (as it was always meant to be... these games really ought to be touch-screen), I should do that. I wonder if I can still draw anything by hand, let alone manage calligraphy, a decade later?

    I loved this game when it came out, although the atmosphere was a bit creepy sometimes

    Excited to see a lens on Myst. Beautiful Stranger's Journal, too.

    Man, that MYST trailer is awesome. I love the huge, expansive landscapes of MYST. These days we have awesome graphics, but even though MYST doesn't have up-to-date graphics, I feel like I am there, not just playing a game. I love that feeling!! Games these days don't feel like that. It's way too obvious that I am playing a game. Not with MYST!

    OMFG, a MYST LENS!!! HOLY SHITE!! I <3 Myst, used to play it as a kid, started playing it yet again recently. I'm not expert at it, but I love it! What a sense of adventure in that game!!! Ah, such imagination. I'm on Riven right now. Thanks for the awesome lens!

    Wow, that was fabulous, you've been blessed.
    I always got stuck in Myst, so it lost my interest real fast back in the day. Now that I'm older, it could be time to revisit it again.

    OMG Yes I played Myst and Riven and the 3rd one (cant remember its name) - gosh these take back a few years.

    You've given me an idea now, I should be writing PIN numbers in D'ni but I've always had trouble with a 25 base counting system

    It sounds interesting. That space background in the into module is cool! I love the pictures of the pages too!

    Yes, MYST's puzzles have stranded many a would-be traveller in some alien place! Nowadays, fans of games post tips and walkthroughs that help if you're stumped, but such resources weren't available when MYST first came out.

    I'm more than a little impressed. I got the the world with the trees and then gave up.
