This striking original advertisement was released in 1999 to promote Myst: Masterpiece Edition, a remastered variant of the landmark 1993 graphic adventure puzzle video game developed by Cyan and published by Red Orb Entertainment. The advertisement features the iconic headline "See What You've Myst" alongside gorgeous full-bleed promotional artwork of Myst Island.
Historical Context: Originally launched in 1993, Myst became a surprise cultural phenomenon, driving the adoption of the then-nascent CD-ROM format and holding the title of the best-selling PC game of all time until it was surpassed by The Sims in 2002. The 1999 Masterpiece Edition showcased in this ad was a major milestone for fans. It completely updated the original 8-bit visual assets to stunning 24-bit true color, remastered the cinematic audio/video tracks, and introduced the "DigitalGuide" built-in hint system to help players solve the game's famously challenging puzzles.
