About this game
You have just stumbled upon a most intriguing book, a book titled Myst.
You have no idea where it came from, who wrote it, or how old it is.

Reading through its pages provides you with only a description of an island world.
But it's just a book, isn't it? As you reach the end of the book, you lay your hand on a page.
Suddenly your own world dissolves into blackness, replaced with the island world the pages described.
Now you're here, wherever here is, with no option but to explore.
Myst is a first-person point-and-click adventure where the player controls a character known as The Stranger.
Magically transported into the world described in the book, he needs to explore Myst Island and solve its mysteries.
The game is presented as a series of static scenes where the player acts with the environment by clicking and manipulating objects.
There are no enemies and it is not possible to die.
Through Myst Island, the game is further divided into mini-worlds set in different ages accessed through different books.
The game's interface is reduced to a single cursor for navigation and interaction.
Rather than collecting items and using them to solve puzzles, the player must gather subtly placed clues and manipulate complex mechanical devices in order to advance in the game.
The world of Myst is mostly uninhabited, and the game has very few live-action scenes with characters and dialogue.
About Atari 2600
The Atari 2600 (1977) was the console that first proved interchangeable game cartridges could sustain a mass-market business, effectively founding the home console industry as we know it. Most common 2600 titles are inexpensive today given how many units and copies were sold, but a small number of extremely rare releases — including several from Atari's own late-era prototype and licensed titles — are among the most valuable cartridges in retro collecting.
Gamevaro tracks Myst for Atari 2600 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Myst to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This A2600 release dates back to 2022.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
