You need to emulate Myst within a PowerPC environment, it won't run under current macOS versions. You can use Sheepshaver or Basilisk to run Myst. :-)

I just downloaded in on my mac (Os Sierra)
and I don't know how to play it. Is there something I need to download to play it on?

One of the best puzzle games ever! Took me nearly two years to figure it all out! Ran on Win 98 as long as Apple Quicktime was installed.

I got the PC version (Myst: Masterpiece) about 15 years ago. Spent about 20 hours playing it. Never finished.

Myst was one of the hardest, but most enjoyable games I've ever played. The entire series is great thought. (The second game is Riven, if you want to play it.)

MY girlfriend and I were just discussing how mesmerized we were when this game came out. 'Look at the boat in the water. And I can tell its clear water!' what great graphics for 1993!!!

Issues fixed[edit]
Crash on startup[edit]
The original disc version of the game usually tends to crash on startup when run by a newer OS. This isn't permanent though, and can be fixed by opening and closing the game a few dozen times.
Link book videos display solid white & general instability[edit]
- This fix can also remove any potential FPS issues
