INTRO: One of the great inspirations to brilliant computer
programmers and offbeat artists everywhere is the story
of brothers RAND and ROBYN MILLER — creators of the hit
computer game MYST.

From the first CD-ROM edition in 1993, the MYST franchise
evolved through four sequels and a spinoff, sold over 12 million
games and spawned six soundtrack albums, three novels, several
comics, and an online version.

Inspired by Jules Verne's "Mysterious Island," from the beginning
the Miller brothers blazed their own trail, setting new content and
visual standards,and ultimately changing the way people played
computer games. In a world of gory, violent "first person shooters,"
MYST invented its own category, with immersive environments
of stunning artistic quality, texture and atmosphere, and a focus
on puzzle-solving in a moral universe driven by a mythic story.

The original music of MYST was the work of ROBYN MILLER. In
addition to his graphic talents, he was a fine ambient/electronic
musician. Subtle, deep and atmospheric, his music set the tone
for the emotional experience of MYST. Sequels were scored by
ROBYN MILLER, JACK WALL, and TIM LARKIN.
