I have a suggestion for you.

Yes, go ahead and buy the games. I've never had a chance to play Riven, but I played and beat Myst and it ruled.

Play Myst first. But then, before you play Riven, go find yourself a copy of the novel, "MYST: The Book of Atrus," and read it. THEN play Riven. THEN get yourself copies of "MYST: The Book of Ti'Ana" and "MYST: The Book of D'Ni."

If you enjoyed the immersive world of Myst, you will love these books.
