The Video Game History Foundation (VGHF) is preserving a significant collection of archives from Cyan Worlds, the creators of Myst. After observing the massive amount of Beta and VHS tapes detailing the history of Myst and its sequels in a documentary trailer, VGHF took on the task of digitizing them. This includes a comprehensive look at the development of the game and its impact on the industry. The collection, free to access, enriches the VGHF database with valuable historical content and highlights Cyan's contributions to the gaming landscape.
If you've experienced the thrill of venturing to the Mechanical Age and retrieving a few pages for Achenar, Miller's anecdotes of developing the game on Mac's rudimentary HyperCard application are equally as mind-boggling.
VGHF, a non-profit dedicated to preserving video games and the media made about them, embarked on a quest to digitize Cyan Worlds' archives after noticing in the trailer for an upcoming Myst documentary.
Cyan even logged every media appearance and mention in the company's history; come for every blue-screened take of Atrus but stay for a Spokane sizzle reel highlighting the importance of Cyan Worlds.
The Cyan collection is a robust addition to the VGHF database, which includes everything from old gaming mags to game-development production documents, and it's all free to check out.
