INTRODUCTION
------------

It's now more than four months since Myst was released, and it's time for a playable demo 
for those Amiga users who still don't own the game. 

Myst is #1 selling Amiga game from the day it was released.

Moreover, both English and German version each *separately* outsold any other Amiga game 
since the day of its release!

Myst is also #2 game of 1997 on PC.  #1 is Riven:The Sequel to Myst.


For a while we hesitated to release a playable demo, as Myst is an extremely big game 
(the biggest ever on the Amiga), and unlike any other adventure. For these reasons it is 
very hard to take one small part of it and be able to show to a new player what it is 
that makes Myst so attractive.

Despite its size of 30Mb decompressed, this demo represents only about 5% of the 
whole game (600Mb).  In order to keep the size reasonable, we had to choose a part 
of the game where there are not many puzzles and large QuickTime animation files.


WHAT IS IT
----------

It's a playable demo of a part of Mechanical island. 

AGA and CGFX/P96 versions of the code are included.

Double click on the appropriate icon (AGA or CGFX), and choose the screenmode.
(screenmode will be saved and used next time you play the demo)


REQUIREMENTS
------------

8Mb RAM
68020 or better CPU
High-res display (min. 640x400) 8 or 24-bit

TROUBLESHOOTING
---------------

The game has been on the market for several months now, and all bugs/quirks have been 
fixed and incorporated into the demo (corresponds to v1.1 of the code). 

Therefore, if you have trouble running it chances are your system software is not 
set up correctly (AHI, CGFX...).
