Cyan Worlds Closes

ThPhox writes "Several former employees are reporting on their blogs that Cyan Worlds, the creator of the Myst series of games for Macintosh and PC, has apparently closed. Myst was the best selling PC game of all time, until The Sims, and inspired four sequels, three novels, and a spin-off MMORPG. In 1993, it had amazing graphics, and was one of the first games to be released on CD-ROM. Riven, released in 1995, stunned the world with unparalleled graphics and story. Cyan, you will be greatly missed. But, as they say; 'Perhaps the ending, had not yet been written...'"

Deja vu

I remember playing Myst back in the day. I'd make some progress, then somehow end up back where I was, going in circles the whole time. There was this spot where you could read about the news, but when you returned years later, it was always the same ...

It's probably nothing to worry about...

Maybe all the employees are just trapped in a book somewhere.

Why on earth did people play this game where the minimum player requirements were aparently an IQ of 180+ and a brain the size of a small planet!

Sounds a bit like Real Life.

And in related news...

I'm of the same opinion.

Myst felt a lot like cocaine to me. . . lots of work to get it, and you're all excited, but the climax. . . meh.

Long run for a short slide. After spending the hours to beat it, the ending pissed me off to no end. "Now you may explore the world to your heart's content! P.S. we reset all the annoying puzzles, do them again, bitch!"
