10 Classic PC Video Games That Have Only Improved With Age

Released in 1993, Myst was a point-and-click graphic-adventure that shocked the world by becoming the highest selling PC game in history. In the game, players assume the role of an unnamed protagonist, who after inadvertently transporting himself to a mysterious island, is tasked with finding several missing pages, each of which scattered throughout the world.

Throughout the 90s, Myst was ported numerous times to a handful of system, including the SEGA Saturn, Playsation and 3DO. It was successful enough to spawn four sequels, as well as a dozen spinoffs and remakes, as well as a spiritual successor. In 2003, it was estimated that the series had sold over twelve million units worldwide, making it one of the most lucrative franchises in gaming history, as well as one of the most critically celebrated.

Since 2000, there have been two significant remakes of Myst, both of which received a fair amount of criticism. In reality, there’s nothing quite like the original, and seeing as how the game is primarily story and puzzled focused, it certainly holds up.
