myst

The game series created by Rand and Robyn Miller and their small company Cyan (now Cyanworlds) in 1993. Myst is a graphical, point and click adventure game. The story revolves around a man name Atrus and his family, and around the fictional society of D'ni. The D'ni had the power to create links to other worlds through special books, called linking books. The Myst series was, at it's time phenominal in sales and in graphical quality. The series is comprised of the games Myst, Riven, Exile, Revelation, URU and URU's expansion packs To D'ni and The Path of the Shell. There is also an upcoming Myst game, to be released in 2005 entitled The End of Ages. Myst once held the record for the most copies of a game sold, only to be surpassed thus far by The Sims.
