| Flashback is a famous game that shipped in 1992, following the wonderful Another World written entirerly by a french genius, Eric Chahi (also the creator of the later acclaimed Heart of Darkness). Reminiscence is a virtual machine allowing to play the original game (it requires the original files) under MacOS X (like ScumVM for LucasArts games). It's here. |

| 11-25-05 / 01:10 AM : IMG : Myst V review (cjed) |
| InsideMacGame publishes a detailed review of Myst V. I agree with them, the spotline is some of deconnected from previous chapters, graphics are less stunning despite use of 3D, musics are less immersive... there isn't simply the past genius here, and the result is average ! However i disagree concerning the low difficulty level, as i found the original Myst (first game) to be the most logical and straightforward. |

MacGLide, an utility allowing to play back old games requiring a 3dfx card (or providing software rendering as the only alternative), has been updated. The rendering quality is now better and closer to the original result. Moreover the antialiasing can be activated. It works under Classic or directly on OS9. Now we will be able to play well in TombRaider games, Carmageddon 2, Falcon 4, FA/18 Korea, Unreal 1, Deep Space 9 - The Fallen, Myth, or the fantastic Deus Ex (in order to avoid the ClassicRave rendering bug where animated textures are rendered still).

 iDoom, that makes available at download a modified version of Doom I for the ipods, provides some videos of this game running on an iPod mini, an ipod nano and an ipod photo. On colors models (including ipod nano) the rendering (and speed !) is amazing, it has nothing to be ashamed for, compared with the result on an old LC475 from this time.

 Rhem 2 is the sequel of an adventure game alla Myst. First chapter was plaged with poor graphics. We hope this one will raise the quality, as challengers like Ages of Ilathid are not far. Rhem 2 is available on Amazon.

| 11-03-05 / 10:38 PM : Myst V reviews / walkthrough (cjed) |
| There is two new Myst V reviews, one from Adventure Gamers, another from Computer Gaming World. They are not hard with the game, compared with jeux video or Gamespot reviews, wich say Myst V is just good. There is a walkthrough here (french). Some note a short life time for the game, and less cute graphics than in precedent chapters. |
