fiction theme.

Sadly, mine no longer work..... I bought all 3 together as a bundle (I
think it was an anniversary edition or something) and none of the would
run..... And, sadly, Riven wouldn't even uninstall..... And right now,
I don't even know where the discs are.....

Sounds like the 10th anniversary edition. I bought that too, and had
troubles with the Riven disk. I played through Riven using an older copy
on several CDs, as opposed to one DVD.

And you know there are 5, right?

And technically also:
Uru: Ages Beyond Myst (To D'ni & The Path of the Shell)

(As far as I can tell, Myst Online: Uru Live is a resurection of the MMO
portion of Uru: Ages Beyond Myst aka "Uru Live")

I needed a walkthrough for all of them. But I bought them for the
story--paid about the same amount as a paperback--so I was fine doing
so.

Well, now knowing the end to Myst, all you need to do is get the last
page and go to D'ni to win, so it's much less challenging..... But the
story of the Ages, and especially the Age of sound (I forget which one
it is, but it's the one where you have to tune in all the sounds to open
the door) and how they got all the sounds is a great story.....

Oh I didn't cheat, I did all the side questy bits, even though they're
unneccessary.
And the sound level is one I had a hard time with, even WITH the
walkthrough.

BASS really is an excellent game. It doesn't take itself too
seriously, which is always nice to see in a game, but still manages to
tell a story. The emphasis in the subtitles appears to have been
APPLIED with a SHOTGUN, though.
If anyone here hasn't tried it, gog.com - specialists in older games -
are offering a legitimate copy for free download. The game is freely
available elsewhere as well, but this pre-packaged version is the
simplest and most direct way of getting it working on a modern
computer.

Played through it this evening. Very nice game, although the middle
portion gave me some trouble (thankfully the copy downloadable from
GOG.com comes with a walkthrough) as there was little or no indication
of how to proceed (I had to beat the game before I figured out the point
of the fingerprint machine).
