Myst Trivia Questions

Robyn Miller composed Myst's music solo. There is no band named 'Robyn Miller and his brother'; his brother Rand co-created the game but did not compose the music.

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

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

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 1990s and the overall best-selling PC game until The Sims surpassed it in the early 2000s.

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 originally used HyperCard for the game's interface and linking of images, but the final product also incorporated other software tools, meaning it was not built entirely with HyperCard.

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