You should try Safecracker if you liked Myst. The wife and I played it and 
had a blast. The story is pretty weak and the graphics are so very two years 
ago but the puzzles are solid and logical and can be figured out with 
patience and honest effort. I'd find myself at work mulling over a 
particular safe (the game is somewhat non-linear so you can skip around a 
bit) and when you get the "A-ha!" moments it's pretty cool.
