Uru Beta Goes Live on GameTap

2

Uru Live, the online component of Cyan's 2003 title Uru: Ages Beyond Myst, was taken down by publisher Ubisoft in 2004. Recently, subscription-based game download service GameTap announced that it would be reviving Uru Live. Gametap mainly offers a growing selection of classic titles but now also is becoming increasingly involved in new projects, such as partially funding the Sam & Max episodic adventure games. Today, an open beta of Myst Online: Uru Live was launched, allowing GameTap subscribers to play a pre-release version of the game. In conjunction with the beta, GameTap is currently offering a promotion that confers a month of GameTap service for $0.99, after which it defaults to the regular monthly price of $9.95.

    A sad day when even a Myst game will not run on MacOS.

      See also: previous incarnation of Uru, also RealMyst for years and years, also Myst Masterpiece Edition. ... I think that list is accurate.

      Yes. The GameTap people (and Cyan) are whiling to port it to the Mac, but as of now ressources are limited. In the future maybe.
      However people have reportedly run Uru (the single player game) successfully on Bootcamp.
