Video games that, like 'Myst,' inspired TV series

Best-seller "Myst" celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2013Classic mystery adventure "Myst," having been picked up by Hulu in a deal with Legendary Pictures' TV arm, joins a cohort of episodic series with video game origins. Unusual family sitcom "Maniac Mansion" took its title from a highly rated video game -- an acclaimed LucasArts point & click adventure -- though it ended up making significant departures in the transition to TV.
