ACG just posted a new interview with Rand Miller (of Myst fame). http://www.adventureclassicgaming.com/index.php/site/interviews/269/Perhaps the most interesting tidbit of the interview: The most difficult was the final marble puzzle in Riven. Our goal for Riven was to start with less friction and end with some tough stuff. We even remarked at the time that we had made Riven easier and harder than Myst. But there were some tough mental leaps to be made to put everything together for that final puzzle. This confirms my suspicion. I have always thought that the final marble puzzle in Riven was absolutely unfair.

If you played MYST, what age did you go to first? EVERYONE went to that Spaceship. Right? No I went to Channelwood. And the final underground sub maze needed what info to complete? Info found in the Mechanical Age. No the clues to the sounds could be determined by matching the direction you saw on the console to the sound you heard when the subway stopped. The sounds may have been recycled, but the clues were in the Selenitic Age as well as the Mechanical Age. I think there might be other crossovers, but I can't think of them right now. There may have been "crossovers" in that you might find references to things in one Age in another Age. But everything you needed to solve an Age's puzzle was found in that Age.

Hmmm, so there are 3 Miller brothers! I'm glad I found that out finally as I have been getting Robyn and Ryan mixed up. Another one of life's little mysteries cleared up for me! I'm not a Myst fan but I am interested in MOUL and URU because of the online experience.
To love is to be happy with!
