I discovered that all the videos were in the disk unprotected, so I would watch them all for clues and just finished most of the game that way. I also discovered that the end pages could be accessed without doing anything else and worked. I got Riven, got stuck, went to the disk files and laughed since they put all the files in some strange archive I wasn't familiar with at the time. No cheating for young men. I wonder about now, though.
Pretty sure it was just bink video format, very popular format for the time. Anyway, finished all the Myst games and Riven, 10/10 would get stuck for hours again.
They were QuickTime .mov files on the original version. Myst came out six years before Bink video existed.
Was that the same style as 7th Guest, and one of the Zork games?
7th Guest was the shit
Afraid I don't know those
