The Myst. A game that many have been talking about for the last three decades. I've never played it, but they say it was one of the best games in the '90s.

Ear-grating sound effects

Storyline

"As you walk beside the lake on a cloudy night, a distant thunderclap demands your attention. A curious, organic artifact falls from the starry sky and inexplicably, without asking permission, transports you across the universe.

Adding to the oddity, you discover a strangely kluged kiosk that reassuringly welcomes you to Hunrath."
