Does Myth the Total Codex contain Myth 1 and 2?

And would it be worth it for me to buy it new, or will buying it used not affect me?

I know that these questions may seem stupid, but I really don't know.

Does Myth the Total Codex contain Myth 1 and 2?
It does indeed, but you can probably find Myth 2 cheaper (more on why you don't need to buy Myth 1 in a bit.)

Myth 2 comes in three flavors. They all contain different extras, but all will provide you with the entirety of Myth 2. First is the Total Codex you mentioned above. It contains Myth 1, 2, and Chimera (an 8 level bonus campaign). Second is the original Myth 2: Soulblighter. It is just the original game with no extra frills. Third is Myth 2 Worlds. Worlds contains the original Myth 2 plus a bunch of extra mods. Any of the three options will provide a copy of the full Myth 2 game.

Now, why I'd suggest the cheapest option is because a lovely group of devoted fans called Project Magma has ported the original Myth The Fallen Lords (Myth 1) into the Myth 2 engine. It plays the same, but has prettier graphics. It also has the added bonus of being 100% Free. You will still need a copy of Myth 2 to run it, but all of Myth 1 (multiplayer maps included) would be free.

And would it be worth it for me to buy it new, or will buying it used not affect me?
Personally, I always like to buy PC games new just so I know the disk isn't scratched or anything. The game was released before companies started locking off parts of the game to those who bought used copies, so even if you get a used copy, it will run the same.

If you need help installing the game or are just looking for reliable people to play with, I know where you can find some.

If you don't got it, you want it. If you got it, you want more of it. Of course if you don't know what it is, it's hard to get any in the first place.

I got a lot of life out of Myth 2. It's one of my favorite games despite how hard Father time has taken a hammer to it. It's got a fairly engaging (albeit brief and limited) story and a couple of great songs that I'll always remember.

Problem is I played it to the point of utter burn out.

I've been playing it 10+ years and I'm not burned out yet.

Thanks for the input Sard.

Every map, every game type, every spawn point, has a unique solution to deliver victory. Sometimes it is obvious; sometimes it is hidden.

Awesome games, I remember playing them back in 98/99, a TON of fun and great story line.

One of my favorite all time quotes is from that game...
