  Pyst - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pyst was a computer game published as a parody of the highly successful Myst.
It was written by Peter Bergman, a co-founder of the Firesign Theatre, and published by Parroty Interactive.
Though graphically more advanced than "Pyst" (and allowing some movement), the game was apparently never completed.

 SALON Daily Clicks: Media Circus
"Pyst" — which is list-priced at $14.95, about a third what you'd pay for "Myst" — is deliberately as shallow as its model was deep.
An elaborate "Pyst" Web site promises to provide a more open-ended experience, with special bonus areas open only to purchasers of the CD and blinking ads for more comedy delivered via a 900 number.
"Pyst's" mastermind, Peter Bergman, was an original member of the anarchic comedy troupe the Firesign Theatre, and he describes some subversive goals for the project: "At Firesign Theatre, we always felt that TV was a sorcery box — and the only way to break the spell was to laugh at it.

 The online MacinStuff Times Web Site Called "PYST," an Outrageous Parody   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
PYST -- an interactive parody, not a game -- offers the millions of people who have played the original title the chance to experience the island in a whole new light.
PYST is for anyone who has been there and everyone with a funny bone.
PYST is also a comedy web site that goes well beyond the parody of one game.

 MacGamer - Get In The Game
I have to confess I enjoyed this little video more than the rest of Pyst: the people who participated in making Pyst seem like a colorful, zany bunch, and they must have had a ball when they were in the studio (the featured attraction among them is John Goodman, who plays King Mattruss).
And that also includes accessing the Pyst website, where the owners of the software can enter the 'Members Only' area if they connect while running Pyst (of course, much of the site is open to you even if you don't own a copy).
The version of Pyst under review here, a 'Special Edition' package, also includes a sneak peek of Driven: The Sequel to Pyst (clearly, no Riven-related item other than this 'sneak peek' is likely to be forthcoming) as well as samplers from two other Parroty productions, The X-Fools and Star Warped.

 SMU/Perkins Youth School of Theology
Mentors serve as guides and advocates for the youth as they process their experiences in PYST.
Mentors receive training for working with teenage youth, support and guidance for the mentoring process and are invited to a variety of events that support pastors, youth ministers, youth workers and others who work with youth.
Adults who wish to serve as mentors for a PYST youth should be at least 21 years old and able to commit for 1-2 years.

 FIREZINE #1: Bergman Gets PYST Off
When Firezine received the box art and several slides of the various screens contained in PYST it became painfully obvious that Peter Bergman was more perturbed at MYST then we ever were and decided to vandalize the game with comedic spray paint.
This badman Barnum appears to be John Goodman as King Mattruss who also sings the PYST theme song on an enhanced CD single that comes along with the package.
By the time you read this, Bergman's PYST will be out, a companion website and 900 number phone site will be up and running and the mystery, if there is one, will be solved.

 Film & TV: Scanlines (Austin Chronicle . 07-14-97)
True Fireheads like myself and perhaps a few others who have noticed their familiar voices semi-regularly on The Tick, know that they're still around, but most of you probably just occasionally dust off your Everything You Know Is Wrong album and assume they got picked up by aliens soon after its release.
The FT have kept a low-profile vantage point of the cutting edge, most recently with the release of the Myst parody Pyst, a return to the island after all you millions of cybervisitors have wrecked it with all your trash and Big Business has come in to complete its transformation into a tourist trap.
The main complaint on the net regarding Pyst has been from people who just can't get it through their heads that it's not a game, and that it's too short (the medium-priced disc can be ventured through in under two hours).

As I opened the box to PYST, I was overcome with a sense of joy.
MYST is one of the greatest games of all time and here in my hands was a parody of the mighty master of point-click-solve software.
The catch is that each of those 4 million plus explorers have turned the mystical island into a tourist trap wasteland.

 BBC - Wales - Wyau/Pyst/Libertino
Released two years later, Pyst continues the bleak, social analysis of Edwards, with the band's sound fleshed out by the funeral strings of Mas A Lawr and the poppy Fall-esque Cymryd Mewn Sioe.
With a myriad of unique styles and sounds lurching from the chaotic to the sparse country tinged beauty of Ugain I Un, Edwards' beguiling lyrics prove a gem for Welsh and non-Welsh speakers alike.
This reissue is a superb introduction to a band that don't simply fulfil a quota, but emerge as on of Britain's most inventive and unique bands.
