These devices have notoriously never succesfully run our games. The few MBA owners who've had success have MBAs with top of the line specs, maxed GPUs and memory, and spent a small fortune on their Apple laptop.

everything runs smooth silk and nice on the imac 2019, i suggest you just buy that for gaming

you can even upgrade to 128GB ram for a fraction of the price from apple .. Jesus what a deal of this 2019 iMac gave !!

I suggest that you upgrade to Vega 48 8GB GPU + 512 GB SSD

The digital versions are updated to run on modern systems. The original CDs are for older operating systems. If you want to run the original CD versions you will may be able to do so if you use compatability mode, and possibly other steps as well.

If you're using the old CD versions of any Myst games, there are ways to get them to run, but it takes considerable legwork on your part.

Due to the age of the games on disc, the best place to find assistance with getting them to install and load on a modern day operating system is at the Ubisoft community support forums located at http://forums.ubi.com/. 

There you can find help with Myst, Riven, Exile, Revelation, End of Ages, plus URU and its expansion packs. 

You can also contact the game's publisher, Ubisoft [support.ubi.com], directly to see if they still officially support installation of these older titles on disc.

Good lucK!
