Half of these comments note how Myst captured the imagination. The other half make it clear how the authors had no imagination to spark.

Myst arrived at a turning point in computer gaming, where what it provided gamers was so much beyond what had come before the mind filled in the gaps (as gaping as they truly were, with our 20/20 hindsight).

Sad that some cannot even comprehend what this means.

What if what they like is trash?

I would content that it does, but the effect is pretty minor.
