But of course, it requires the original CD to get the data files. Go figure.

Comments? Discussion? Any Grizzled Ancients looking for a Blast from the Past?

I can't get into Myth. I need my uber micro. Which sadly the game prides itself on not having.

On the topic of porting games to Linux. The source would have to be released. I doubt MS would port any Halo game to Linux or Mac.

Hipsters have started using it a lot because it's not Mainstream. So soon it will be everyone!

“Strange,” mused the Director, as they turned away, “strange to think that even in Our Ford’s day most games were played without more apparatus than a ball or two and a few sticks and perhaps a bit of netting. imagine the folly of allowing people to play elaborate games which do nothing whatever to increase consumption.”

The more you use it, the more frustrating Windows gets. My mom uses it now. She got sick and tired of Microsoft.


And in other news I now found out who stays up way late... or you guys are in Europe or something.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

You can buy it off of Ebay new for like $15.00 for Linux.

Good game, probably one of Bungie's best.

Do you know what kind of hat I'm wearing?

A party hat; you don't get one. An honor will this party be, a party in your honor, for your honor. Some of Tfear's personal guards are going to be there. You'll be introduced shortly.

Prepare to die.

Is the linux version identical, or are some of the features removed?

Oh and OP, what you have is a PATCH, NOT the game. The PATCH removes bugs for Myth 2 and improves compadibility.

You have to buy Myth 2 for Linux to play it.

When I grow up, I want to be just like goofenhour.

Linux? Meh. I guess if it is a deal breaker for some people that only run Linux, then I guess it's good to have. I'm all about reaching out too new.
