Myst

Yeah... the original Myst scared the hell out of me, too... The music was really good. Robyn Miller is awesome for in-game music.

Anyow, I've played and beaten the first three, and I've got the fourth, though  Idon't play it too much... I think its a great series, though... The story is really well done, although I think that the original Myst and Riven had far superior stories to M3 and M4. Nonetheless, good games. Shame about URU, though.

Hate to be a bit pedantic, but I feel obligated to say that it was originally written on and for Macs in 1993 and was ported to Windows in 1994 -- pre-Win95. That said, I loved Myst (played it in Windows, myself). Had problems with Riven... I think the version I had was buggy. Got to a specific point and got stuck, and where this in and of itself was not particularly unique, I was stuck long enough that I cheated and went to a spoiler book, used the prescribed solution (which was the solution I'd found, anyway), and that failed. Maybe the CD was corrupt, I'll never know.

emmie:
I have a computer which I only use for Riven and Myst. And they still freak me out. Especially that generator room on Myst. I am such a pussy >_<

I was waiting for someone to clarify on this.  I loved Riven too... I seemed to get stuck pretty constantly.

Luke:
I'm very well aware of Myst's history, josiah - the only reason I said "designed for" was to point out just how great the graphics in the game were, even back in the Win95 installment. It's also quite obvious that Myst was originally a Mac game, given that Broderbund was credited as one of its main developers.

Also, josiah - did you ever end up finishing Riven?
