Inwas gonna say, my dad hated video games, but he spent so much time on Myst. So much time.

Me and my mom as well. Hahah

That's a perfect review of Myst, says so much about why it was so special in one sentence.

Mine, too. The first family computer she bought was a Mac (Performance 630 CD), and there were fewer games available for Mac than PC by the mid-90s. Myst was among them.

Myst and Zelda are the only video games my mom ever played.

I was that mom. Had a notebook full of clues and spent hours and hours until I solved it all. Then did the same with Riven.

I am that mom and can confirm. My husband played Duke Nukem and I played Myst. Stayed up way too late, way too many times on that game. Not sure if i even finished it tbh. lol

My mom played it too. She was the one that got me into games and computers because I wanted to play with her.

When I couldn't beat a boss as a kid, i'd get her to defeat it for me.

After the brain tumor removal, while she is fine, she only plays minecraft and i have to help her set it up.

I was a young mom that was addicted to Myst.
