I can't say if that's true or not, because I haven't played Myst yet, but if it's true,Myst is too short also!! > I thoroughly enjoyed it from beginning to end and would recommend it > to everybody. Just one thing...save often. I agree also with that, but I just wish it was faster (BTW, the prez of Quadra has recognized the speed and length problems and says that JM II will indeed be sped up, and be longer).
