Myst is an unreleased Sega Mega LD full-motion video graphic adventure game developed by Brian Rice and scheduled to be published by Pioneer in 1995. A port of the titular 1993 Cyan game Myst, development was virtually complete (with the game even receiving an official Japanese publishing code, PEASJ1035) when a video playback bug was discovered which rendered the game unplayable.[1] Combined with poor sales of the Pioneer LaserActive, Myst ultimately never materialized.
In modern years, two prototype discs have been discovered and preserved by private collectors.

Development
Reportedly, a hardware bug in the Pioneer LaserActive leads to inconsistent behavior of screen transitions after a certain amount of playback time.[1] Either the big was unable to be fixed, or the resources needed to fix it were not appropriated due to the impending failure of the LaserActive platform. All prototype discs exhibit this bug and are unable to be played normally.
