Myst Just Turned 15??!

Oh man, I must be getting old. I remember sitting with rapt attention in front of my very first non-Commodore computer, desperately trying to decode the musical pattern and intricate puzzles of Myst. It was the first, and only, game I have every bought a “cheat” (read here strategy) book for, when I thought that I might go insane for being unable to find the correct sequence of buttons

Well, the game that really got me going just turned 15 years old, having launched way back on September 24th, 1993. It remained the best-selling PC game of all time until The Sims de-throned it in 2002 and played a critical role in the popularization of the CD-ROM format for the PC.

Happy birthday old friend and thanks for the memories!
