Myst is a first-person graphic adventure created by Cyan and published by Brderbund in 1993 for Macintosh and Windows 3x.

He will have to explore the island and solve its many mysteries and puzzles.

There are also several possible endings, depending on the choices of the player.

All puzzles were based on mechanisms and objects that the player needs to manipulate.

The Miller brothers - designers of games for children until then - wanted an adventure that everyone could play: a game for non-gamers.

Despite the lack of animation (apart from short cutscenes), the result was amazing: it was the best 3D visuals ever seen on a video game.

Consider that there are 2500 different locations in the game, each one of them is like a beautiful painting.

Of course, the only way to store all these images was the use of a CD-ROM, so Myst was one of the first games exclusively on CD.

In fact, it was the reason why many people purchased a CD-ROM drive in the 90s.

But positive reviews or not, Myst was an impressive commercial success.

Before 2000, it sold more than 6 mln units, becoming the top-selling video game of the 90s.

But most of all, Myst is the title that demonstrated that video games can be art.
