Cyan Worlds (1987-present)
Main article: Cyan Worlds
Myst used high-quality 3D rendered graphics to deliver images that were unparalleled at the time of its release.
Cyan, later Cyan Worlds, were among the first developers to take advantage of the CD-ROM. Their first game, a simple children's adventure game called The Manhole, became the first computer game to use the medium in 1989. In 1993, Cyan released Myst, a first-person adventure that used the extra storage capacity of the CD-ROM to include pre-rendered three-dimensional graphics, video, and audio. Despite being the first game to be published solely on CD-ROM, thereby requiring a CD-ROM drive,[19][20] the game would go on to become highly successful,[21] and to have a profound influence on many adventure games that came after it.
Myst was a highly atypical game for the time. It had no clear goals, little personal or object interaction, and a greater emphasis on exploration, and on scientific and mechanical puzzles. Part of the game's success was because it did not appear to be aimed at an adolescent male audience, but instead a mainstream adult audience. Myst for many years held the all-time record for computer game sales (it sold over nine million copies on all platforms), a feat not surpassed until the release of The Sims in 2000.[21]
There is debate among adventure gamers as to whether or not Myst and similar games, such as its contemporary The Journeyman Project, should be considered at all a part of the adventure genre, as their focus on abstract puzzle solving and exploration in the place of character interaction and development sets them apart from what previously characterized adventure games. It is sometimes categorized as a puzzle adventure.
