Pyst is a 1996 adventure game developed by Bergman-Stallone and published by Palladium Interactive.
Pyst is a computer game published in 1996. It was created as a parody of the adventure game Myst. The parody features full motion video of John Goodman as "King Mattruss", the ruler of "Pyst Island". Pyst was written by Peter Bergman, a co-founder of the Firesign Theatre, and published by Parroty Interactive. Versions of the game were produced for both the Windows PC and Apple Macintosh operating systems.
The basic concept of Pyst was to show what Myst Island (from Myst) would look like after 4 million people (players) had visited and "explored". Pyst Island is full of litter, most of the buildings are ruined, and graffiti reveals secret doors and solutions to puzzles that challenged players in Myst.
Pyst utilizes three-dimensional graphics, animated drawings, and pre-recorded video and audio. The game also includes an original song, "I'm Pyst", performed by Goodman.
Pyst is abandonware and no longer sold or supported by its publishers. Files are archived here for these platforms:
