PSP version of Myst hitting PlayStation Network July 16

We know you've probably bought Myst eight or nine times by this point, but we thought you'd still like to know that a new iteration will soon be available -- this time, for the PSP. Hoplite Research, who collaborated with the adventure game's original developer Cyan Worlds to put the game on DS in December 2007, is dropping the game on the PlayStation Network next Thursday. Much like the DS version, the PSP port will contain all the Myst non-action you know and love, as well as the bonus Rime Age that appeared on Nintendo's handheld.

What the press release that revealed all this information lacked, however, was a price. We've contacted Hoplite to try and discern this crucial piece of information. We'll let you know as soon as we find out.

Blimey...I think I first played Myst when it was released on the PC....jeez that was over a decade ago..

Depending on the price might have to pick this up and re-live my past

I remember this game! I also played it on the PC. Little secret, once you beat the game you'll know how to beat it in about 5 minutes. To keep from spoiling the game and the fun to be had by solving the puzzles - I won't tell how. I still have the game on my PC. Amazing what a small group of people can do in a two-story garage.

Yep... 1993 to be exact. I remember this game coming bundled with our first Gateway 2000 PC. Good times.

Personally I love the Myst franchise. I even own the hardcover books that recount the origins of Atrus and Ghen. Quality stuff.

I'll snap it up for PSP if it's <$15, although my guess is it'll be $10, maybe even $5 if they're feeling generous.

Its basically a non-action mystery/puzzle game, which I played for countless hours as a kid.

As long as its in the $10 price range, I'd say its definately worth a blind buy.
