I recently bought Myst Uru expansion pack Path of the Shell, and also Myst Uru Complete Chronicles. I was woundering if I need to play both of these or just the Myst Uru Complete Chronicles?

I have played Uru-Ages Beyond Myst and all the other Myst series so far. Is it important to play Uru The Path of the Shell?

The Complete Chronicles includes the Path of the shell.

Thanks, I guess that answers my question.

Do you need to play the game with the disk or can you play it without the disk in?

As you have been asked before, please do not stack posts. If you have something more to say and no one has posted after you, use the edit button.

It's been years since I've played, but why don't you just simply take the disk out and try and run it? The worst that happens is it will ask for a disk.

Thanks, I forgot about the edit part. Has anyone played Myst Uru the Complete Chronicle, and are there a lot of timed puzzles?
Also, has anyone enjoyed the game. I'm getting ready to play it,(just installed it), noticed that the game is not real clear. Seems like it might be a bit blurry. Anyone else with that problem? Of course, I'm playing in Windows Vista. I hope I don't have major problems.

Hi Kozykat,
Let me say right off that you are in for a great time.
URU is my favorite game.
I love games that you just do your own thing.
Just enough talking ,no real hard puzzles,and
a lot to explore.
I play it on XP,so i don't know how it is
on Vista.
I had no problems at all with the game...Have fun..Ron

I played the Complete Chronicles..almost all....but didn't get to finish...(it is a bit confusing at the end....but now with good walkthroughs out i am going to go back and finish.). I also got to play it online...most of it...and that was Wonderful. I sure miss that. I you love exploration and puzzles you are in for a treat....however, there ARE timed AND action parts in the game...which were very, very difficult for me...very frustrating. But..it is sure a game that you get immersed in and you can 'get away' from it all playing. I believe you need to play for a while before your game will save. OR you can do like i did after i realized that..and just minimize it (keep it running if your pc will let it) until you can go back and play some more. SPOILER i tried to spoiler wrap but i could not get it to work..but here it is: you need to go thru the Tree Door at bottom of Cleft/ravine-then you will be able to save.Spoiler end. I really enjoyed the artwork and the sound so much. I just wish there were more Myst & Uru (but without timed and action(jumping))type games out there. The Rhem games are good too!! (lots of puzzles! and i always need a walkthrough..just not as brainy as the rest of some of the 'boomers!!!)..they're very good!

Has anyone else played the Myst Uru Complete Chronicles game? If so, how did you like it, and were there any timed parts of the game? I've played Uru-Ages Beyond Myst about a year ago, and really enjoyed it. I've really enjoyed all of the Myst series so far, the onlys one I haven't played was Uru expansion pack To D'ni, and Uru-expansion pack -Path of the Shell. Of course I'm playing on windows vista, and hope I don't run into any problems while playing this game. Let me know.

I played these games about two or three years ago, all of them. I thoroughly enjoyed it and finished Path of the Shell multiple times.

I'm not sure about running on Vista, but you could probably look that up on forums that most definitely exist somewhere on the internet. I don't think there will be any problems, but Vista can cooperate really well sometimes and go wonky on you other times. I really would check out forums first unless you're willing to go ahead and risk the money.

As far as timed sequences go, there are a couple, but in none of which is the clock counting down. That's all I can say without ruining a couple of the better puzzle designs I've seen.



Also, a mod's probably going to do this for you, but this is more of an adventure game than an RPG or Action game. Might be better and get better responses if it was on the Adventure Game forum next door.

I played them on Vista and did not have a problem.

I also loved all the Myst games and playing them over and over. Gamenut when you reach a journey cloth and touch it you can save the game there. Have fun Kozy!

Thanks, I will.

Thanks Kaki..for some reason mine wouldn't save until after i was able to go into the Tree. Don't know why...but was ok 'cause i figured out how to keep going and not have to keep starting over doing the first part..
gosh i sure enjoyed Myst and most of the sequels..but #4 Revelation..i won't be playing it again..SPIRE and the one Mangree puzzle..and #5 End of Ages..drawing the characters just too frustrating and time consuming..too bad they don't re-issue those games without those certain puzzles!! The graphics and sound are just wonderful. I have issues with quick/timed puzzles or jumping...the jumping is what i found so frustrating in Uru and several of the quick timed puzzles..but managed to keep going..Almost until the end! I sure miss the MOUL (myst online uru live) that was on Gametap. Only reason i joined it..canceled when no more MOUL. Was fun to 'meet' 'boomer players online!

Personally, while I enjoyed the locales and puzzle designs (fiendish and unfair though some were) of The Path of the Shell, I was frankly disappointed it didn't offer much in the way of resolution---again. Uru, beautiful and enchanting though it is, is basically just a big tease, and that's a shame. Still, if you have the game and the expansion (or can get them cheap) I would recommend them both, as the lonely atmosphere simply cannot be beat, and you can learn a lot about the D'ni and the DRC if you have sufficient patience.

It's just a shame the game never had a proper ending...
