The history of Myst is lengthy and storied. The original game arrived in 1993, but, over the years, it's been remastered, remade, and expanded enough times that it can be tough to keep track of what's new and what's old. But one thing has always remained true: all it takes is a single screenshot, and you know you're looking at Myst. A true PC classic, Cyan Worlds' point-and-click is still one of the most visually distinctive games of all time. Riven, the sequel, looks just as good - in an era of high-fidelity and photorealism, these games still stand out by the sheer power of their design. And

1993 was a transformative year for PC gaming. First came Syndicate, the superb strategy game from Populous creator Bullfrog. There was also a controversial and technically experimental FPS called Doom - launched in the December, it's hard to name a more influential shooter in the history of gaming. But Myst was something truly different. While mechanically it stood on the shoulders of the point-and-click pioneers built by Sierra, it was driven more by aesthetics, atmosphere, and tone. Even today, 32 years later, you can identify Myst by a single image. It's been re-launched, remastered, remade
