I liked Myst, even though it really isn't that great of a game (there is pretty much no real interactivity). Riven is utter crap though. There is none of the atmosphere that Myst had, and the puzzles are FAR more non-sensical.

Thank you, Stephen, I thought I was going crazy when everyone started raving about Riven. I thought it was awful. It came free when we got our most recent computer, and I don't like it at all. Give me Final Fantasy instead :-)
