“A real Myst book” by Mike Ando aka RIUM+


This is my “working” replica Myst book. It’s made out of a copy of the same book Cyan originally used as a texture reference.

Inside the book is a full desktop computer, completely self-contained without any external wires or wireless computer. The embedded screen isn’t just showing a still photo or a video: it’s running a full copy of realMyst PC edition. On-board is a copy of all the Myst games. It’s fast enough it plays all of them smoothly (even End of Ages at ~30fps). You play the games just by touching the touch-screen.

Also included are a blank white page & a blank blue page. These are from other copies of the same book Cyan used, so they’re as official as you can get. With the book’s red internal lining, this makes a full set of the three colours used in Myst.

For more details & a video of it in action, check out www.riumplus.com/mystbook

Mike Ando’s fantastically legit Myst book replica- having played with it up close, I can vouch for the beauty of the thing.

…Even if it is filled with potentially explosive materials.
