The Red Pages
Words about the book.

The Blue Pages
Words about the CD-ROM.

1. The Process

Rand and Robyn compare the process of writing the book to that of creating the most popular CD-ROM in the history of mankind.

1. Respect for the Medium

Myst didn't try to exceed it. It was compelling within it. It is the nightmarishly limited medium called CD-ROM. (But, compared to the Web...!)
2. Touchy Feely

They create worlds that don't really exist. It must be nice to have something with texture they can actually hold.

2. Limitation Free Association

Imagine the number of hours trying to solve the postage-stamp video limit. Musta been some pent-up frustrations. We got 'em to surface.
3. Will It Ever End?

"Say it ain't so, Joe!" With the infinite sequel engine built...will they ever turn it off?

3. Biggest Wish For Interactivity

More emotion? More Speed? More commercials? You name it, they want it.

4. A Longing For History

In this bitter, cynical world, nearly devoid of respect for the past, along comes MYST, a story almost entirely dependent on it. What up wit dat?

4. Who Is "Me" In MYST?

I am the star when I play MYST. You are when you do. Just who in the Hell is this person?!
5. MYST In Other Mediums?!

MYST, The Movie? Hey, you never know. This just might work!

5. Leaps Of Logic

Bang your head on the wall that one last time and it hits you 'The clues are in the MUSIC!' Just how sadistic are the Miller brothers?
