It's about time technology catches up with classic video games. Sure those games were made in the past, but retro computer players know that they were far ahead of the curve back in their day. Take Myst, the graphically rich adventure game. Not only was it the first to marry highly detailed graphics with an elaborate and deep narrative, but you moved through the world by touching the graphics via a point-and-click of the mouse. Imagine if you had a touch sensitive screen back in 1993.

Today with the Nintendo DS, we finally do, and soon Myst can finally be played the way it was meant to. At least that's how it felt when I played an early build of Myst DS for a hands-on preview. Instead of pointing and clicking with a mouse, you do it by directly touching the screen (preferably with the stylus).
