Wow, I've never seen that footage - can you say where you got it? It explains some references you can find inside the original realMyst demo .exe file (which would have been Plasma 1.0? Anyone?):

Player_FlashLight_On

That degas video predates anything that Ive ever seen of early Uru by probably five years. In fact that may be the earliest bit of realtime 3-D game footage Ive ever seen. I'd almost guarantee that predates Riven. Absolutely fascinating.

I found the Nexus demo and I talked to Brice (aka Nikto) and I put it on cho. And I found a Glide wrapper that works with it.

You can find it here:
And the nGlide wrapper I used here:
(You can also visit the nGlide home page at: )

The demo is a little buggy in places (objects slipping thru the floor or cameras not always switching correctly). But you can hit the "r" key to reset the game and start over. There are a fair number of puzzles to solve. But there is no mouse support, so to "activate" things you hit the "a" key. And you can deal with the "inventory" with the "i" key. And the "l" key to "light" the flashlight. Spacebar to jump. There might be more commands but I can't remember them at the moment.

Have fun!

Great !

one small problem though - the game start an i can walk around just fine but pressing "a" crashes the game... any idea of what might be causing that ? this is pretty must a game stopper, I want to push that hidden button !!

edit: log says nothing of significance about the crash.

Edit 2: problem solved my keyboard switched to QWERTY for some reason, so new shortcut: "q" quits the game

(and p pauses and after pressing i for the inventory you can select an item an press "d") to drop it
