Cyan Takes Top Two

December 30, 1997

According to November PC Data Numbers, Cyan's Riven and Myst were the top two selling titles last month.


Riven became the top selling title on the PC Data best-sellers list for the first time this month. The success of this sequel has also pushed sales of Myst into the number two slot. Ultima Online and NHL Hockey 98 dropped off the top twenty altogether after settling in the top ten the month before.
