Myst

Trivia

Hyperion published three novels set in the Myst universe:

1. The Book of Atrus (1995), by Rand Miller, Robyn Miller and David Wingrove;
2. The Book of Ti'ana (1996), by Rand Miller, Robyn Miller, and David Wingrove; and
3. The Book of D'ni (1997), by Rand Miller and David Wingrove.

A fourth novel, The Book of Marrim, by Rand Miller and David Wingrove, was put on hold while the last Myst games were completed, and is now expected to be published at some point in 2006.

Additionally, Dark Horse Comics published two issues (Passages and the Joining) of an aborted Myst comic book miniseries, The Book of Black Ships.

Myst was rendered entirely on stock color Macintoshes using only Stratavision Software. Until the success of Myst, The Miller brothers ran Cyan software from their basement..

While in D'ni, you may notice there is a mosaic of a face on the tile floor. Though it may look like one of the characters in the game, it is actually Chuck Carter, one of the graphics designers for the game.

Myst is the best-selling game of all time. Over the course of a few years, it stayed on PC Data's top ten list. The game's non-violence (the creators are both pious Christians), simplicity, and amazing graphics contributed to its success. Myst was also responsible for many people buying a CD-ROM drive for their computers.

Myst was voted #42 overall in PCGamer Magazine's Readers All-Time Top 50 Games Poll (April 2000 issue).
