I never got to play Myst (original) and can't find one at a decent price. Will it even play on windows 7?

PATSY,
Gog.com has Myst Masterpiece Edition (don't know if that's the same thing or not) for $5.99 and the game description says it plays on Win 7.

PATSY,
I've got an extra original Myst I can send to you if you'd like to play it.
Just let me know!

Hi Patsy, If I remember correctly, MYST Masterpiece edition is exactly the same game as the original MYST. The only addition is that it has a storyline of hints if you wish to use them. It Is RealMyst that has the additional world included.
If all the people were heroes, there would be no one to watch the parades.

Myst Masterpiece has // slightly better sound than the original Myst. Yes and No, the sound is technically better I suppose but the sound track is a cut version. The music plays in short sequenced loops in stead of the complete original from the original version of Myst, that is the original Mac version. As far as I know RealMyst and Myst for iPhone has got the original sooundtrack back.

(which is the one I played) Is that the full soundtrack or the cut version?

It turns out the version of Myst that I've been playing IS the Myst Masterpiece Edition. Since I'm playing the game via Steam, I haven't figured out how to run it as an administrator. Right-clicking on the icon and then on "Properties" brings up the game as a web document URL. I can go to the Security tab and change Permissions to let the Administrator run it instead of the System. I am trembling in terror at the very idea, though. What if something goes wrong and I can't switch back? Is it worth the risk? I could end up blowing up Steam singlehandedly. Well, the small portion of it that lives on my computer. I think I need someone to hold my hand.
