Yes, I know that you gotta have the samsclub membership to buy from samsclub but if you do then you're in luck i guess. If you dont AFAIK you can still buy it from web for some additional fee, but i couldn't find the game offline. :(

I personally bought one last week at my local samsclub, it's actually called MYST 10th anniversary DVD Edition. Comes in a beautifull wide-packaged white box. The box contains 3 DVDs, one with MYST Masterpiece Edition, one with Riven and one with Exile. I'd say it's a must have package if you don't have the games already. And even if you have them the DVD package is quite nice, I remember having to change discs every five minutes in my PC when playing Riven - quite bothersome. The so said interview is actually only five - ten minutes long and half of it is just Uru PR, I also wish they would include RealMYST in the package but I guess it's OK. However despite these shortcomings it's a very nice deal for 3 excellent games.

Didn't know target had it for 20. Still a good deal even for twenty.

Now, does anyone wants to buy Exile 4CD regular edition from me? :D

Amazon.COM also has the Myst 10th Anniversary DVD Edition for $20. In fact, they have all of the UBI Soft titles I searched for. Be aware these older games run smoother on Windows 98 than XP, no matter what the box says. While you're at it, do a search for the guide books for any software title you're going to buy. You can buy nearly any guide to any software game you want at Amazon.COM. If Amazon.COM doesn't carry a guide, one of the smaller, independent sellers will. For example, you can buy Myst: The Official Strategy Guide for $10. You can also buy other
Myst guidebooks by other authors new or used from the independent sellers for as little as $5.45 + S/H.

Or just go to google and type "myst walkthrough" if you want to see some free walkthroughs.

Speaking of Riven. I got a copy 2 years ago for Christmas. My 6 year old daughter loves the look of the game. She always want to play but I don't have the time to figure this game out. I've looked for cheats on the web but can't find a complete cheat. Does anyone have or know where I can find the complete solution to the game?

How about taking a hint from the post right before yours and typing "Riven walkthrough" into Google. The very first hit is what you want.

Hotter deal: $15 at bestbuy with no YMMV, just plain old $15 at B&M.
Way to get it for that price: Get a gamers gift card for any amount you want (I suggest $5 or something under $15). Make sure its the BLACK version, not the GREEN version. It contains a coupon for $5 off of any game (computer or video) for $19.99 or more. And since its $19.99 at BB, you get it for $15 out the door. Do 2 separate purchases and use that $5 giftcard you bought on it.

I did a quick search at Amazon.COM for Riven guides. I found 3:
  1. At $25, this is the most expensive. Only the $70 copies seem to have a map. Riven: The Sequel to Myst: The Official Strategy Guide (Secrets of the Games Series)

    This one starts off at a more reasonable $11. Official Riven Hints and Solutions

    Finally there's the $5 Riven: The Sequel to Myst Strategies & Secrets: Unofficial
