Ah, the pre-rendered video games of the early '90s that I did play are coming back to me. The smart ones would pre-render full-screen (still) images that seamlessly connected to the bit of the screen that had the actual video, to create a more immersive feel.
I had no idea they had so many Myst games, nor so many licensed games. I think I actually ended up with a copy of Obduction, somehow, somewhere, which I have yet to play… I was vaguely aware they had failed to maintain the runaway success of Myst (it’s almost impossible to do so), but it looks like they perhaps are more successful than I realized, all things considered. Given the resources they’ve thrown at previous games, the lack for the remake (it really is quite underwhelming) suggests this wasn’t a high priority (or that they were even involved in its development, necessarily).
