Myst
Nineties point-and-click
Myst is a 1993 puzzle adventure video game that became one of the best-selling PC games of its era.
Players explore a mysterious island, solving puzzles to uncover its secrets.
The game's atmospheric, non-violent exploration influenced a generation of adventure games.
The title plays on mist, mystery, and myth.
I spent hours wandering around in Myst trying to figure out what to do.
