Cyan's Classic 'Myst' Arrives in App Store

The classic game of Myst has arrived in the App Store. Myst is a 1993 game that was originally developed for the Mac under Apple's HyperCard application. While rather simplistic by today's standards, the game was both a critical and commercial success becoming the best selling computer game up until that time.

The game starts you on a strange island where you must explore your surroundings, solve puzzles and figure out the backstory.

The interface is entirely point-and-click driven. Switches, clues and other hints are explored by tapping on interesting items on the screen. There are also many puzzle elements that must be solved in order to complete the game.

A video of the game shows it from the launch which should bring back memories for fans of the original game:


The game comes in at a massive 727MB and 1.5GB free on your iPhone or iPod Touch for installation.

App Store Link: Myst, $5.99
