Myst (ミスト) is a groundbreaking adventure game developed by Cyan Worlds and ported to the Sega Saturn by Sunsoft in 1994 as a Japanese launch title.
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.
A supposedly 99% complete prototype of Myst exists for the Mega LD platform. It is said that a LaserActive hardware bug which led to inconsistent behavior of screen transitions caused the game to be canceled.
