Today’s game is RuneScape. I would like to make a confession with this game, and that is that I have no clue what I’m doing in it. I’ve done maybe 3 quests. I really just like walking around and listening to the music while exploring and taking in the sights. I’m basically using RuneScape as a tourist simulator.
Like today for example. I went by this museum and just checked things out. I imagine it’s tied to a quest, but if it is I couldn’t find it. I suspect maybe it’s under premium or whatever.
The whole vibe of this game also makes me want to play Myst. I have disk copy for MacOS. Like an old one on iMac G3. I’m half tempted to boot it up and play just because of this, but I think I’ll wait and just buy it on Steam. I have to imagine it’s close enough to the same experience, and besides. I have a CRT monitor that I could hook it up to if I really wanted an older experience.
Tangents about Myst aside, I also ventured into this house and killed this imp. I panicked at first because I thought maybe the Imp was with the guy or something but he seemed pretty chill. I head cannoned it as the Imp was like a pest. Or this guy is just a shitty pet owner. Either way I took the spoils from my kill with me. I think I’ll put it in the bank as a weird messed up trophy of sorts. Sorry to that poor Bank Keeper.
Anyways. To end things off I found this village full of Barbarians. Until I boot the game up again I’m going to head cannon that he’s taking a prolonged stay here. He helped bake a cake or something one time. Maybe he can help make food or something to earn his keep.
It’s sure Myst, I actually went and tracked it down on my old iMac G3’s Hard Drive. I remember specifically the wooden library room too. You’re right about the static pictures though. Except for the remake version. I think that’s fully 3D
I was thinking RuneScape might remind one more of the early polygon graphics in Another World, or Out of this World. Actually that’s still not the game I’m thinking of but I can’t seem to find it. It was made by a French game company, that I remember, but none of those screenshots look like levels I remember.
