COMING TO THE SMALL SCREEN: Bestseller "Myst" celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2013.

Classic mystery adventure Myst, having been picked up by Hulu in a deal with Legendary Pictures' TV arm, joins a cohort of episodic series with videogame origins. We look at four others here, from Maniac Mansion to Street Fighter

Maniac Mansion (1990-93)
Unusual family sitcom Maniac Mansion took its title from a highly rated videogame – an acclaimed LucasArts point & click adventure – though it ended up making significant departures in the transition to TV.
