MYST - Getting Started

                    Sent in by Neil Shipman

Myst Island:

Begin by exploring the whole island. Read the note dropped by the
side of the path. Count the marker switches and turn off the 7
out of 8 that you can reach. Their locations are: the dock, the
cogwheel, outside the planetarium, the spaceship, by the stone
basin, outside the brick building, outside the shack and at the
base of the clock tower.

Open the door on the dockside. Read the notice on your right at
the bottom of the stairs. Click on the top left-hand corner to
open a panel. Set the counter to 08. Click on the red button. Go
to the dimensional imager (which has been showing the water-
turbulent pool) and press the button to hear the message.

Read all the books in the library. Pick up the red page and read
the red book. Pick up the blue page and read the blue book. There
are 4 large books in the bookcase which haven't been touched by
fire and one smaller, partially burnt code book.

Click on the red picture to lower the bookcase. Look at the
picture of the island. Rotate the tower until a red line
indicates a point of interest. Go over the bookcase and down the
passage. Go up in the elevator to the tower. Climb up and look
out to see the point of interest. Now look round behind the
elevator and climb up to read the information on a plaque.

Repeat this for each of 4 points of interest. These, and their
relevant information are:

Tree          7,2,4
Spaceship     59 volts
Cogwheel      2:40   2,2,1
Ship          OCT 11, 1984  10:04 am     JAN 17, 1207  5:46 am
              NOV 23, 9791 6:57 pm

Return to the library. Click on the picture of the arch to open
the library door.

Decide whether you are going to pick up [1] the red pages or [2]
the blue pages. If you want, during the adventure you can return
to each of the 4 Ages and pick up the other coloured page....
