With the revenue from Myst, Cyan quickly moved to a new headquarters to accommodate a bigger staff, where they remain today. The title sold more than six million copies, and was the best-selling PC game ever until The Sims exceeded its sales in 2002. Myst was one of the earliest CD-ROM games, in a time when CD-ROM drives were beginning to become mainstream. In 1993, Cyan shot to worldwide fame with the release of Myst, a 3D pre-rendered adventure game aimed at an older audience than their previous games. Some of these titles were early forays of Cyan into both construction of interactive worlds using HyperCard, and the CD-ROM medium, both of which would later be used for Myst. The games offered numerous graphical screens with puzzles, mini-games and activities. The company's early titles, The Manhole (1988), Cosmic Osmo and the Worlds Beyond the Mackerel (1989) and Spelunx (1991) were whimsical fantasy adventures for a young audience.
Founded in 1987 by brothers Rand and Robyn Miller, Cyan originally produced adventure games for children.
