Downloaded Real Myst from GOG. It was supposedly on sale, but they charged me full price anyway. That would be ok if the software performed; but no.

It runs four or five minutes, then crashes. "This program has performed an error (or encountered a problem) or something, and will close." Boo-Hoo.

This might be my first and last encounter with Grand Ol' Gotcha.  :-[

OMG, Tally Ho. That's bad news.  The one I bought seemed ok up to now, but admittedly I haven't played very far yet.

The sale was only for the weekend (they have a different sale every weekend), and they do state on that Cyan sale page that the sale ended Monday just before noon.

I must admit I haven't had time to try out he copy of Riven I bought on that sale.  I'll try it out on the weekend.

Sad to hear not all games work perfect.Some ones do magnificently like realms of the haunting that has a ton of new options to improve graphics etc...or outcast that works perfectly but needs a additional hd patch and a sound patch to be played like a dream.

On that account write about your problems on the forums and send them a email or 2.They usually respond and hopefully re-upload a improved version.

As they are a small team ,writing on the forums really helps them to improve the games...


PS-for example the gog prince of percia version had a small problem with the fog option -the fix was quite simple a line added in the gfx options.ini that the original devs had left out for perfomance reasons and the game runs like perfectly....

Most GOG games have very detailed FAQs on their website. I suggest browsing through the realMyst one - it's very possible a solution to these technical problems can be found in there,
