Riven / Myst3

So... I finally finished Riven. Although, this time I just used two walkthrough sites to get past all of the puzzles that I had already seen in my prior attempts. (I had previously done about 90% of the puzzles.) Anyway, it doesn't run well enough on my WinXP system that it was worth figuring out the last 10%, so I just blew through that part as well using the walkthroughs. On the whole, I still preferred realMYST (a redo of the original Myst where they switched from slideshow to 3D engine, which made it much more interactive) to Riven.

Game Revolution's Walkthrough - the better of the two walkthroughs, has a complete map of the islands with all of the reachable locations.

Riven Walkthrough - Also a good walkthrough and will walk you through the optional bits as well (where you gather information to figure out the required puzzles).

Next up, I'm going to check out Grim Fandango and the Monkey Island series, but first I'm planning on finally tackling Myst3:Exile which has been sitting in my game bin forever and a day. At the moment, I'm trying to figure out how to take screenshots in Myst3. This site says it's Alt-PrintScreen - but either that doesn't work with the 1.22 version patch or it just doesn't work under WindowsXP.
