iPhone users can now check out Myst FREE  photo

If you're a fan of the old point and click adventure game Myst and you like to replay such games for nostalgia every once in a while, you may already be aware that several portable versions already exist. The DS version is pretty terrible when it comes to reading anything like text, but the iPhone version is actually really excellent. Of course, you may not know that because you may be hesitant to download something you already own a PC version of.

Luckily, you can check the game out for free on the iPhone now thanks to MystFREE, the lite version of the game. Joystiq reports that the demo allows you to explore all of Myst Island, but if you want to venture into another age you'll be prompted to pay for the full download. Neato! Sounds like a cool way to try it out. Give it a shot if you want to see how this old classic translated to the iPhone.

Not much point in this for me, I bought it on a whim a week or two ago. Haven't touched it much, but someday when I get bored waiting for my food at a restaurant, I will.

Hmmm...how big is the demo? I seem to remember hearing the actual thing being way bigger than your typical app. As long as it's smaller I'll check it out.

Myst FREE is a little over 100MB, the full game is just over 500MB. It was 700MB at launch, but they recently knocked it down a bit. And I can confirm that Myst for the iPhone is leaps and bounds better than the terrible DS and PSP ports... keep in mind that the DS and PSP ports were thrown together by a third party, while the iPhone version was lovingly pieced together by Cyan themselves.

Many kudos to Colette for posting about Myst and not just saying "Who wants to play a slideshow?" like most of the gaming sites out there tend to.
