Myst (ミスト) is a groundbreaking adventure game developed by Cyan Worlds and ported to the Sega Saturn by Sunsoft in 1994.
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.
Myst was followed by Riven: The Sequel to Myst, which also saw a release on the Sega Saturn.
