Myst

[Barry Levine]

IIRC, the genesis of Myst was "The Manhole" which was a HC stack  
(multiple stacks due to the elaborate "hyper-linking" of its logic). It  
was further developed into a "real" program and, while I haven't been  
able to locate the Mac version, I have found the link to the Windows  
version:

manhole_the.html

It's "Abandonware" and is now a free download.

My kids' first experience with a Mac was The Manhole (HC version). I  
had it running under HC 1.x in the MacWorks MacPlus emulation  
environment on my Lisa. It worked flawlessly and kept my kids  
entertained for hours. It also provided much of the "I can do that,  
too" attitude that led me down the path to Rev.
