Newly updated realMyst:Masterpiece Edition v2.2 - polished, tuned, and better than ever! The puzzles are clever and engaging, involving both logic and intutive thought.

The game has a 'zip' mode for fast travel between discovered locations to prevent tedium, as the player may visit the same location many times. Clues and game elements are scattered throughout the gameworld, so a notebook and pencil are handy during gameplay. Graphics are rich in quality and gameplay is straightforward. Since MYST was produced at a time when system resources were quite modest in comparison with our own day and is accordingly sparing in its use of resources, it can play smoothly on any system that can run the game. It was also one of the first games (If not THE first) to have music engaging enough to be commercially-released on CD as a soundtrack. MYST started out as a set of HyperCard stacks linked together with commands activated by hot zones in the cards.

MYST is widely credited with stimulating the sales of CD-ROM drives. At that time, CD-ROM drives were not a standard system amenity they were expensive and slow and were just emerging as an important system component. Gameplay was remarkably smooth, for that time, as CD-ROM speeds were quite limited. This game set a pattern for many similar games which followed that of a player who is essentially a stranger, dropped into a game world, who is presented with puzzles and problems whose solutions are integral to the unraveling of the storyline. It was also the first to incorporate high-quality graphics with ambient sounds and effects, creating the most immersive environment possible at the time. It was also pioneering in that it allowed the player to wander freely (non-linear gameplay) and presented the user with ethical choices which created alternative endings to the game. It was also the first game to fully exploit CD-ROM technology and established techniques for effectively managing game content on CD that would be used in thousands of games from then on. It was a commercial success from the day it went on sale and was the best-selling adventure-genre computer game from its release in 1993 until 2002 when it was overtaken, in sales, by The Sims. It established a new genre of adenture games for computers and set a standard for interactivity that has spawned both sequels and many imitators (called myst-clones"). This is one of the first (and best in its day) of the point-and-click adventure games. The best selling computer adventure game for over 9 years (1993 to 2002), it s a still a thoroughly enjoyable experience a quarter of a century later. The game presents the player with non-linear gameplay (you can wander around at your whim), puzzles and dilemmas requiring both logical and intuitive thought and presents the player with ethical choices that affect the outcome of the game. The player is, essentially, a stranger dropped into an unfamiliar world in which clues, writings and functional-but-disabled machines and devices point the way to realizing the storyline. It features high-quality graphics and sound and a variety of puzzles and challenges. MYST is an immersive, first-person adventure game of the point-and-click type.
