Games released on September 24

Three games that still hold up, from Myst in 1993 to Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus in 2002

  1. Myst 1993

    Turned 33 this year

    An island with nobody on it, reached through a book, and nothing to do but look around and work out what its machines are for. It helped drive the adoption of the CD-ROM drive.

  2. Ultima Online 1997

    Turned 29 this year

    A large shared world with no levels and no classes, where a character is whatever its skills make it, from crafter to duellist, and houses stay where their owners put them. Player killing was open everywhere until the world was split into Trammel and Felucca.

  3. Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus 2002

    Turned 24 this year PlayStation 2

    Sly Cooper, with Bentley the Turtle and Murray the Hippo, sneaks through the lairs of the Fiendish Five to recover the Thievius Raccoonus, his ancestors' book of thieving, in a 2002 stealth platformer.
