There's an old world made new again now available for your fingertips: Myst has come to the iPad. It's been enhanced with realtime 3-D graphics like dynamic water and environmental effects, such as rippling water, falling rain, and waving trees. (Read more here.) Wish I had an iPad to play with it, but I'm still confined to my hillbilly iPhone 3G (no offense to hillbilly-Americans). If you do have an iPad and go to get it, please share your reactions here. Behold, the Myst App store link.

Dang. Well, the old slide-show version is still available for the rest of us on inferior iOS devices.

I'm enjoying re-visiting an old favourite on my iPad 3. So far the only comment is that the text in the books renders quite badly (unsurprisingly) on a retina screen. Otherwise so far, so good. Now let's get that tower rotating.
