    Myst (ミスト) is a Sega Saturn full-motion video graphic adventure game developed by Interprog. A port of the titular 1993 Cyan game Myst, the game was first published in Japan by Sunsoft in 1994, and was a launch title for Sega's new 32-bit system.

    Acclaim Entertainment had also planned for Myst to be a launch title in the US[9], but was caught off-guard by the system's infamous early launch in May 1995, and published the game in the United States three months later in August.

    A sequel, Riven: The Sequel to Myst, also received a port to the Sega Saturn by the same developer in 1998. Later in 2006, Sega published a PlayStation Portable port of Myst, developed by Hoplite Research.

    Gameplay

    Myst was notable upon its original PC release for several key reasons. First, it was distributed on CD-ROM - one of the first games to do use the medium effectively. Rather than attempt to render 3D scenes in real-time, Myst relies on pre-rendered scenery making it look leagues ahead of its competition at the time.

    Myst's point-and-click interface seen in the PC game does not translate to home console versions, so the Saturn copy is seen as an inferior product as a result. It claims, however, to be compatible with the Shuttle Mouse, even in Europe, where the peripheral was not released.

    History

    Development

    A Mega-CD version by Sunsoft was also in development. While featured at Summer CES 1994 and given a release date of January 1995[10], this port ended up being cancelled.[11]

    Additionally, a virtually-complete prototype of Myst exists for the Sega Mega LD platform, developed by Brian A. Rice, Inc. and scheduled to be published by Pioneer. A video playback bug in the Pioneer LaserActive hardware which led to inconsistent screen transitions caused the game to be ultimately cancelled.[12]
