730MB Myst game arrives on the App Store


I’ll confess I have never played Myst. But going through the Wikipedia page and learning how successful it was in its times, I thought to give it a try until I knew its download size. Heck, it’s a 727MB download and needs 1.5GB during installation (around 750MB is freed after the installation).
So what does the game bring which is bigger than some of yesteryear’s PC games? The feature list might give a hint:
- All the original Ages & gameplay
- High quality images (better than original Myst)
- Full music & sound effects
- Original movies & animations
- Auto-save (when quitting or phone call)
- “Bookmark” system to save & restore progress
- Swipe to turn
- Auto-zoom in certain close-up areas
- Quick access to hint guide
The game is available on the App Store for a decent $5.99.

Myst, on an iPhone? Someone has to be kidding. I can see playing on a regular computer screen. The iPhone has what? a 3 or 4 square inch screen? I can not remotely guess the resolution to be good enough.
