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 Game Boy
The original Game Boy (1989) proved that handheld gaming didn't need cutting-edge graphics to succeed — its monochrome screen and legendary battery life, combined with Tetris as a pack-in, made it a cultural phenomenon. Game Boy cartridges are famously durable, so this remains one of the more accessible retro platforms to collect, though translucent color variants and complete-in-box copies with the original brick-sized manual add real value for condition-focused collectors.
Gamevaro tracks Mystical Ninja: Starring Goemon for Game Boy 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 Mystical Ninja: Starring Goemon 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 GB release dates back to 1998.
