Myst on DS sucks. RealMyst is the way to go.
Myst in general needs to die. (Thankfully with Myst V it sort of did.)
Myst is singlehandedly responsible for all of its clones that sported puzzles that made no effing sense, events that no player could predict and the game never hinted at and a complete lack of story. Not accusing Myst for this, but the story in that takes a bit of digging, so its clones got rid of that altogether. BLEH!
As for point and click adventures, Space Quests all the way from I to XII are good. I don't remember them having too many unforeseen sudden deaths unlike its sister series King's Quest does (not recommending these). The Broken Sword series and Gabriel Knight are pure unadulterated awesome, The Longest Journey is decent, its sequel is too...although not much of an adventure game anymore.
Of the recent ones, Sam & Max episodes are excellent starting from season 2, Another Code on the DS is pretty nice too (not so fond of Hotel Dusk from the same folks, though) and I've heard good things from Overclocked and Still Life although I haven't played them.
