I had played Myst before buying that set, and I loved that game too. I was a little young for it at the time, in my young teens, but I was in love with the atmosphere and the whole world that invited you in. I came into the party a little later, buying the first anniversary set that came with Myst and Riven, journal, Making of Riven, etc.

This Riven TV commercial still gives me chills.

Tl dr I love the Myst series more than probably any other games, except for some problems that got pushed onto the series later. ( Despite the missteps that occurred after Ubisoft's involvement with the series, these are some of the finest adventure games you'll ever play, and if you avoid Myst IV and the more recent Uru canon, is one of the most realistic and solidly put together worlds you can ever have the pleasure of exploring. Even so, the game was a lot of fun, and a free version is still running today for those who want to continue exploring D'ni online with other players. In the process, MOUL managed to mangle the existing Uru/D'ni canon into something that's no longer 'believable'.

Myst Online: Uru Live was the second attempt at turning Uru into a profitable game. As a result, the final game in the Myst series had some interesting puzzles and gameplay mechanics, but a story that was lacking, and only really made sense if you were extremely familiar with all of the history leading up to it. Myst V: End of Ages was also made by Cyan, cobbled together out of previously unused assets for Uru Live, and was an attempt to simultaneously wrap up the stories presented in both Myst and Uru, as well as finish their contract with Ubisoft. while Myst/realMYST, Riven, and Uru were all debeloped by Cyan, and Myst III: Exile was outsourced to a small company called Presto, Myst IV: Revelation was put together by a team at Ubisoft who really couldn't capture the 'feel' of Myst at all, trying to push the series towards a more 'mystical' sort of slant.

Myst IV: Revelation is a different beast, however. Myst/realMYST, Riven, Uru and the three novels tell one of the most well put together histories I've ever felt lucky enough to experience, and Myst III: Exile adds a nice little side story to that. The Myst series is one of my absolute favorites in gaming, or fiction in general for that matter. Marty is also responsible for the Flintstones Vitamins jingle. Robyn Miller composed all of the music for the game, while the others were responsible for things like sound effects and audio mixing. He was one of the sound designers for Riven, as well as Tim Larkin.
