JA - In a recent Time Magazine article about Myst IV, Gamespot Executive Editor Greg Kasavin described the Myst series as representing "an antiquated style of gaming." How do you as an adventure gamer interpret such a remark and how do you as Myst IV producer respond to such a remark?

G. Lord - As a fan of adventure games, and of Myst in particular, I can only say that I love adventure games and I know that I am not alone. As producer of Myst IV Revelation, I’m very proud of our team in that we’ve been able to create beautiful artwork, integrate extremely dynamic animations where Myst “comes to life” and incorporate a “help” system so that this will be the Myst game that everyone will finish. I think the collaboration of these elements, the immersive soundtrack, composed by Jack Wall with a song by Peter Gabriel, definitely push the Myst franchise in exciting new directions.
