What does MYST mean?
- Myst
- Myst is a graphic adventure/puzzle video game designed by the Miller brothers, Robyn and Rand. It was developed by Cyan, Inc., published by Broderbund, and initially released in 1993 for the Macintosh. In the game, the player's character travels via a special book to a mysterious island called Myst. From there, solving puzzles allows the player to travel to four other worlds (Ages) which reveal the backstory of the game's characters and help the player make the choice of whom to aid. The player interacts with objects and walks to different locations by clicking on mostly pre-rendered imagery. Myst marked a segue for the designers into adult markets and was a surprise hit; ports of the game to other platforms were released. Critics initially lauded the ability of the game to immerse players in its fictional world; it has since been considered one of the best video games ever made. Selling more than six million copies, Myst became the best-selling PC game until The Sims exceeded its sales in 2002. Myst helped drive adoption of the new CD-ROM format, spawned a multimedia franchise, and inspired clones, parodies, and new video game genres, as well as spin-off novels and other media. As computer graphics advanced, the game was remade as realMyst using real-time 3D graphics for the first time in 2000. Unlike the original, it was poorly received at the time by critics and even the original creators. By that time, the sequel Riven had already been released.
