$500,000 has already been spent on Silicon Graphics Inc. Indigo 2 Extreme workstations and SoftImage software.
It has been confirmed that at least one of the pictures, the one entitled
"Hallway to the Cavern, 5th Age of Gehn", in the Myst Paraphernalia is from
"Myst II". Zach suggests that there are actually two pictures which are from the 5th Age. He also mentions that "5th Age" does not mean "the number of worlds that appeared in the game" (which game?).
Broderbund has a web site which confirms the fact that "Myst II" is in the works. One good thing to note is: since Myst took two years to create, it is no wonder that "Myst II" will take as long or longer. Here is the URL:
Please be reminded that everything that is mentioned here is unofficial.
From Mark H. DeForest (edited):
Even though Cyan has been calling the sequel to Myst as Myst II, that will probably not be it's name. It hasn't been named, yet.

The following are some games which are quite similar to Myst in certain ways.
Maybe you can spend your time playing with these before "Myst II" arrives!
Any reviews are greatly appreciated.

My brother just bought it, but I have yet to go over to examine it. From what
I have read, this game is designed by a Japanese, and the graphics are comparable to Myst. There are some good reviews in computer gaming magazines, and I will try to find them on-line.
The story is about helping a group of scientists to prevent a disaster from occurring. There are strange people and places to explore: a train, a suitcase, and a gentleman.
Gadget first came out for the MacOS, and later was available for the PC.

My brother just bought it, but I have yet to go over to examine it.
Fortunately, he left the game box behind.
I have tried Journeyman Project 2: Buried in Time (BIT) at my retailer's shop. The actual viewing screen is very small, but it provides full animation, much like The 11th Hour. This is because, as the main character in
BIT, you are wearing a time-travel suit, and you will see controls and indicators around your viewing screen. The storyline and graphics are nice, but there are just too many items and controls to fiddle with, compared to
Myst, in my opinion.

(Quite empty)
Just like alot of people over the world, Phantasmagoria is a game I would never miss noticing.
The amazing fact about the game is, apart from the horror scenes, that it is on seven (7) CD-ROMs. It has the shortest playing time of all the games mentioned in this section.
You play the role of a lady, whose husband is badly possessed by an evil spirit. So around the big and old house you go, trying to avoid being hacked and mugged.
Please note that this is a highly violent game, be warned. Or do you want to know what you will see?

My brother has Return to Zork (RTZ), but I have yet to go over to examine it.
It is definately different from the earlier Zork games.

I have seen the game box before, and the graphics are very detailed and well- lit.
The story, according to a good review from c.s.i.p.g.a., is about you being locked into a museum for the night by your teenage friends as a dare. Then, you will have to explore the many objects and places in the game. The music is reportedly good, compared to Myst.
The object of the game is... does anyone want to know?

Subject: [9-10] The 11th Hour: The sequel to The 7th Guest
Date: 12/21/95
I personally have The 11th Hour (11H), and have been playing it for a while.
More of the The 7th Guest, Under a Killing Moon and Phantasmagoria genre, this game is different from Myst in several ways: more animation cut-scenes, individual hardly-related puzzles, fuller animation when moving, much of the storyline is known initially, and higher hardware requirements (!). The puzzles are more difficult, but as with Myst, some of the objects that you can examine are not imperative to the game. As a former Infocom gamer, I find this distressful.
According to the back of the CD-ROM jewel case, this game is "suitable only for persons of 18 years and over".

This CD-ROM game has very unique characters, their heads are pale and large.
Other than the feature that there are many people to interact with, that is all I know about The Dark Eye for the moment.
