I've been trying to play these fucking games for about a year now, without success. I torrented Myst and acquired Riven, Exile, and Revelation on CD-ROM and couldn't install any of them. My computer's CD-ROM drive is... volatile, but since I couldn't get the first game to work via mounting (which I've successfully done with other PC games many times) I'm wondering if it's just an issue of the first game being too old to work properly on my Windows 7, and/or all of the CDs (all pre-owned and bought at garage sales) just being too beat up to install. Anyone else run into this problem, or is it just an issue with my computer or, possibly, the CDs?

At this point, I'm just holding out hope they'll release some remastered editions that I can get new.

Gog.com puts a lot of effort into making old games compatible with new computers. I can't guarantee their versions will work, but it's a pretty good bet.

Wow, thanks! I'm checking it out right now and it looks like it's definitely a good option. $5.99 isn't a bad price tag, either.

Once upon a time, I had a copy of SimCity 2000 on CD ROM that would no longer work on new computers after a certain point, so it could just be that there is too much of a divide between the copies of the games and the computer you have.

You can actually get them (except for Exile) via Steam, if that's an option for you.
