Myst Trivia Questions

The brothers' surname is Miller—Robyn Miller composed the score, but there's no band name; he did it solo with some help from Cyan's sound designer.

Myst never launched on the Nintendo 64 anywhere. It did appear on PlayStation, Saturn, 3DO, and later handhelds, but not N64.

Myst was always designed as an adventure game by the Miller brothers, inspired by their love for exploration and puzzles, not a business sim.

The name 'Myst' actually comes from the fictional island's name, not a truncation of 'mystery.' The creators wanted a short, memorable title.

Myst sold over 6 million copies by 2000, making it the top-selling PC game of the decade until The Sims surpassed it later.

A speedrun trick involves entering the correct codes in the library and using a specific sequence to 'win' in about 90 seconds, bypassing puzzles.

While not the very first, Myst popularized FMV for puzzle games, using pre-rendered scenes and actors (like the actors playing Atrus and Sirrus).

Cyan used HyperCard to create the game’s point-and-click interface and link pre-rendered images, though the final product used additional software.
