'''''Myst''''' is a pre-rendered adventure computer game, with a simple point-and-click interface.

Its tremendous success sparked four sequels, several re-releases and bundles, a complete remake, three novels, a spin-off computer game series, and arguably an entire new genre of games heavily inspired from ''Myst's'' simplicity and style of puzzles, the solving of which is required in order to progress in, and complete, the game. | '''''Myst''''' is a pre-rendered adventure computer game, with a simple point-and-click interface.

''Myst'' was widely acclaimed for the then-unusual amount of graphical detail. It was one of the first games to ship on CD-ROM, rather than floppy disks, and actually came bundled with some CD-ROM drives of the time, which were still an unusual piece of hardware to have in the home PC market. | ''Myst'' was widely acclaimed for the then-unusual amount of graphical detail.
