10 Awesome Old-School Video Games That Deserve HD Remakes

10. Myst

When Myst was released in 1991, it was quite the revolutionary game for a number of reasons. There are no missions or defined objectives like most games; the player must find out the backstory all by themselves through endless exploring; the game can be completed as fast or as slow as you want; there are no enemies or and 'dying' scenarios; and it tested a player's logical thinking skills and patience more than a game of chess. Myst probably leaned more into the realm of art than video game and that novelty helped drive CD-ROM sales like how Apple drove the smartphone market. However, Myst was not without its faults. There is little context to the difficult puzzles and story, and the graphics were writing cheques that the game engine couldn't cash in thus resulting in some clunky movement. It is these pros and cons that give reason to why Myst is due for a HD remake. A remake of Myst will akin to seeing the evolution of Renaissance-era art to Modern-era art. If Myst was considered gorgeous at the time of its release, a remake would be breathtakingly beautiful. The better technology and game engines available today can help drive new ways to unfold Myst's story whilst adding in new mystery-adventure elements to some of the original game's more glaring faults.
