Myst
“lol im this big geek i play this st00pid game called myst ive got to fidn teh libking b0okssssss!! i'm a moron and a nerd and i m scared of sum guy called gehn ima stupid myst fan”
Myst is a graphic adventure video game about some poor soul who crashes on an island and is forced to solve esoteric puzzles by two guys trapped in books.
Sales[edit | edit source]
Myst sold like hotcakes covered in crack that had been soaking in a vat of PCP. People purchased CD-ROMS just to be able to play the game. Of course bear in mind that this was all going on before the invention of Internet porn, so the enjoyment you could get out of a personal computer at the time was perhaps slightly more limited than it is now.
Parody[edit | edit source]
A parody computer game, Pyst, was released in 1996. Heavy on jokes and lite on puzzles, the game featured trailer parks, defecating seagulls, mysophobia, suicide notes, and a topless John Goodman in a hot tub.
A sequel, Driven, was planned, but since Pyst went virtually unplayed, the project was cancelled.

Back in the day this was considered cutting-edge graphics. The previous sentence is funny precisely because it is true.
For some reason Pyst didn't sell nearly as well as Myst. Funny that.
One John Goodman + one hot tub - one shirt = sexy made flesh.
Driven, the never released sequel to Pyst.
