I just got finished with beating Riven for the first time. I adored the way the game seeped into my real life with pages of notes about the world I was discovering. Are there any other games that can match this feeling? That really work best when you have a journal in hand?
I played that long ago (I had a MM1-5 collection on a CD-ROM).
I finished the Clouds of Xeen side without much trouble, I was even surprised when I realized I had found that part’s ending (I think, anyway). But I never could do any progress on Darkside… Not sure what I was missing.
Darkside is considerably harder. It’s easier when you finish Clouds first but you quickly reach a point where it also gets harder. I think a balanced party composition is also even more important.
When I was a child I didn’t understand that it was turn based. So whenever there was a monster I rapidly clicked the fight button without much regard to strategy. Made it even harder. Don’t think I managed to beat either game back then.

I thought that too for a while! I had played Lands of Lore first, and I just assumed MM worked the same way.
I liked Lands of Lore a lot, but it terrified me at times.
