I loved Myst and quite a few clones though, so it isn't a matter of not liking that sub-genre. The environment is just completely unappealing to me and the navigation tedious. I'll have to force myself one day as I know if I could just get past my initial reaction, there is probably a great game there.

The other two are Zork: Grand Inquisitor, which I have no idea why I haven't played, and QFG 4. Every time I try to buy the latter on ebay, some douchebag snipes it away from me. I wish Gog.com would get it...
Its because you want your hand held more so than the other games. Myst had a small island with easy to follow follow, yet still no one held your hand. RIVEN is huge and just like the first game, you are the explorer not sheep following an invisible path.
