And yet...despite all of these ports and playing almost every single one of them, I've not beaten the damned game once.
Am I a failure? :(

im so happy im not alone in this. i had it on pc when i was about 10, i loved it even though i dint understand half of it. cant remeber where i got stuck but i think i might get the game again just to relive the memories. i might be able to clock it now im 24

Yes - your life sucks. Your name will be synonymous with failure for generations to come, who will laugh at you for being the one who could not complete Myst

And I bet you never managed to solve the Rubik cube either, did you, you pathetic loser?

I have fond memories of playing the original way back when it first came out with my dad. My memory is a little hazy but I think we beat it. Well I didn't really do anything but I think I watched him beat it and he was super excited about it. At the end you choose from a red or blue book and you decide whether to banish some guy forever or not. Or something like that...?
Years later I picked it up and attempted to play it myself and found it to be one of the most frustrating experiences of my life. I'm always excited when they announce a port and tell myself that this will be the time I play it, then it comes out and I play a whole 5 minutes of it before putting it down.

SEMI-SPOILER:
I love how big of a slap in the face it is once you finally beat it. Basically the entire game was getting that fireplace code and if you already know what it is you can beat the game in 5 minutes or less (depending on how long it takes you to run around the island and hit all the switches and enter that fireplace code which takes awhile)
I wonder if my original copy will even run on Vista, I remember last time I played it I had to install some ancient copy of quicktime because the new one wasn't compatible for some reason. (Both ran alongside each other fine though)
