The birth of this area occurred at the junction of two gaming genres - puzzle / logical games («puzzles, logic games") and the quest, which left its distinctive mark on the gameplay. In games, puzzle quest focuses on the presence of a large number of riddles and puzzles. One of the first successful representatives of this alloy was two games later to become serial. The first of them - it's Tetris by Alexei Pajitnov, released by Nintendo for Game Boy in 1989. Although most of information reliable sources name Tetris a puzzle game, I personally disagree. You don't have to solve anything in Tetris, but quickly arrange falling pentominos to compose lines without empty squares. It is more to arcade gameplay! ;-) The second progenitor of visualized puzzle games – is the legendary Myst. The entire plot was invented by two brothers - Robin and Rand Miller. The brothers started working on a game in 1991. Having opened Cyan studio, and with help of the largest publishers of that time - Broderbund, the game was released in September 1993 for Apple Macintosh platform and later for PC. Myst has been sold worldwide in amounts of about twelve million copies. It is noteworthy that the game is a first-person. Not very common phenomenon for the adventure games of the time. When writing scenario, a significant part of the effort was spent on rendering quality locations. Where Cyan designers believed that they could not achieve the desired effect of visualization, they temporarily hired Japanese designers (some of the best computer designers in the world). The plot is narrated about a man named Atrus who had the gift of creating worlds by writing books about them. Every single world is described in a separate book. You can visit any world just by touching a particular page of the book. There is also were two Atrus envious sons - Sirrus and Achenar. They are jealous of the gift of his father, treacherously attempted to seize power over the created worlds, for which he had been placed in separate worlds-traps. For some reason Atrus also is trapped in one of his worlds. The protagonist, having got to the island of Myst, is facing a multitude of puzzles, realized in form of mechanical and logical conundrums. Using books, player can visit different world and seek books pages to get back missing ones. Myst series became a new "quality standard" for the quest genre for many years in advance. The game has several continuations: “Riven”, “Myst-3: Exile”, “Myst-4: Revelation”, “Myst-5: End of Ages”, and “Myst Uru: Complete Chronicles”.
