Let's talk about Myst.

[Dr. Vegetable]

I enjoyed playing it for awhile. I kind of lost interest when I got to a "puzzle" that was some stupid combination lock mechanism. I spent about 30 seconds and somehow guessed the right combination. That was about the point where I decided the graphics were cool, but the story/adventure sucked.

Not quite as large, but did you ever see the parody game, Pyst? Now available for a mobile device near you!
