This article misses a few major points about Myst (IMHO):
- Myst was one of the first CD-ROM based games. It helped drive CD-ROM adoption. Even Doom (which came out around the same time) was installed via floppy.
- Myst felt expansive in a way that made it ahead of it's time by several years.
- Myst made you feel like you were in the middle of a story. Its lack of interaction made the player the focus of the game -- which was unique at the time.
