Wait now or wait later...
Well, I consider a factory-configured Micron 667 running Windows 98 to be a "normal" computer. Myst III locks it up every time! Their website tells me they are aware of the problem and are working on it. If they can tell us that on the day the game was released, why didn't they FIX THE GAME before they released it? Myst I was a model of stability. Seven years and a thousand games later, this is ridiculous!
