I think a few years ago flash games took over this sub-genre. Prerendered graphics are no longer a state of the art thing, so the easiness of loading such games in your browser (and usually for free) wins the players over.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the logic puzzles in Myst and 7th Guest also weren't an integral part of the gameworld (with some exceptions in the case of Myst) - mostly they were random challenges and locks the player was discovering "just lying around".
