Eight and a Half Bit 
Unlike the other sounds I’ve guessed in past episodes, I haven’t played this game since it was first released. However, I can still recall that dialogue from the guy in Myst. I recall enjoying the game back then but I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t have the patience now.
Every time I’ve tried in the last few years to replay Myst I had the same realisation that my patience just isn’t up to the task.
I’m hoping we eventually see a Rift version 🙂 It also seemed like most of the game was exploring the world.
But exploring in awkward steps!
