Atlantis: The Lost Tales is an adventure game released for the Sega Saturn exclusively in Europe. It is built very similarly to Myst, relying mainly on pre-rendered settings and allowing for a pseudo 3D movement by using Cryo's own Omni3D engine.

Sega published a translated version of its sequel, Atlantis II for PCs in Japan.
