'Myst' heading for iPhone

An iPhone port of Cyan Worlds's classic adventure game Myst is currently being developed.

The game, originally released in 1991, has received multiple ports over the years, including a Nintendo DS conversion in 2007.

Its storyline casts the player as The Stranger, stranded on a mysterious, uncharted island. The object is to find your way back to civilization, solving a host of challenging puzzles along the way. Early screenshots appear to show a graphically superior offering to the DS port.

Myst was hailed in the early '90s for its groundbreaking graphics and use of CD-ROM technology. It held the title of bestselling PC game of all time until The Sims eclipsed it in 2002.
