Congrats. I love these types of games. It can be exceedingly difficult to do 
them without cheats, but of all the different "3D adventure games" out 
there, the Myst series is by far the best.

It will make the most sense if you play Myst (the original) first. Riven 
(Myst 2) is kind of stand-alone, but is arguably the best of the series. 
There's also "True Myst", which is the original Myst ported (officially) to 
a 3D engine, so it's no longer a slide show.

I found Myst 4 to be the most difficult. Arguably the prettiest, but also 
the most difficult. There are a few things that are hard to read that you 
need to be able to read to decode some clues, and a few things where you 
have to make a leap of assumption to figure out what you're supposed to do.

It's definitely a connected story, so I'd quite recommend going through them 
in order if you can. :-)
