Myst was one of the earliest "multimedia" games for PCs. In fact, this ad refers to the game being available for the Macintosh and "on MPC". Confusing terminology if you ask me but they basically meant a PC with a CD-ROM drive.
Myst was a 3D adventure game. It was basically a point-and-click type adventure with "photorealistic" graphics. The graphics were very good for the time and the game gave you an excellent sense of exploration. However, while I enjoy the older 2D point-and-click adventures, particularly the likes of Maniac Mansion, Myst always seemed to lack personality to me.
Having said that, Myst was an immensely popular game and my opinion didn't seem to be shared by most. In fact, it was the best selling PC game until the Sims came along almost a decade later and played a significant role in the popularization of the CD-ROM format. If you enjoy adventure games, you may very well enjoy Myst.
While initially developed for the Macintosh and ported to the PC, its popularity meant that there would be many other ports and sequels. The original was ported to the Sega Saturn, PlayStation, PS3, PSP, Android, iPhone, 3DS, Jaguar CD, Amiga, CD-i and 3DO. There was also an unreleased Sega CD port. Myst has also been re-released on the PC and Mac multiple times with the most recent version being realMyst: Masterpiece Edition V2.0 which was released on Steam in 2015. In addition, there have also been four direct sequels as well as several spin-offs.
