I had to do this same thing about 2 years ago when my power supply fried most of the devices in my old computer. I had no recent backups of my important data. Wow.
The original wave is Cyan. There is nothing else. Sure Cyan made games before Myst, but the story of Atrus, Katran, Sirrus, Achenar, Gehn, Anna, Keta, Veovis, Marrim,... is just so in-depth. Have you even read the 3 (soon to be 4) novels? They provide a wonderful back story. Did you know that there is a language too? If you knew the company's true purpose and direction, I don't think you'd criticize their actions.
She laughed; the softest, gentlest laugh he'd ever heard. "Did you ever wonder what it would be like to go swimming out among the stars?" - excerpted from Myst: The Book of Atrus
Do not speak badly towards Myst. You cannot compare it to the finger-twitchin' games that you are used to playing. Myst was targeted at people who enjoy depth of story, full-immersion, and mental exercise along with those who despise war, battle, and strategy. It is a game that can be played for hours and is just as much fun when you've finished as when you started. I have already gone back and played it 2 or 3 times after I've beaten it--just to look around. The realtime version of Myst will make me want to lose myself again.

Why can't they just relocate the primary development servers to a country without silly software patents?
