Good evening, you are listening to Three Moves Ahead, and I'm your host, Rob Zakeney.

Joining me today, we welcome back our friend from Gammers with Jobs, Sean Andrich.

Hey, hey.

And we also welcome from Rock Paper Shotgun, Adam Smith.

Hello.

So today we're going to be discussing Bungie's greatest masterpiece, the series that defined them as a studio.

I am, of course, talking about myth. Bungy's 1997 Real Time Tactics game that combined an early

3D engine, physics modeling, and sprites to create a series, a two-game series, really,

that remains, I think, utterly unique in PC games.

And this has been a show that I've been, like, had on my, I've had on my wish list for

ages. And it kind of, I'd never really had the stomach to go fight with the backwards

compatibility stuff to go take the refresher.

So, Sean, you're kind of responsible for this one because I think earlier this summer,

sort of out of the blue, you sent me an email that you'd found a way to get it working on your PC.

Yeah, there's this whole, unsurprisingly, right?

Because myth and myth two are such wholly unique games in their own right. And there hasn't really been games like them since. So there's a, there's this group called, it's called Project Magma. And they just basically kept updated myth. You could play it at 1080p, 1440p. It runs on Windows 10 just fine. You can play multiplayer. You

play co-op. And they even ported the original myth into the Myth2 Soul Blighter engine, which had a few

niceities and stuff. And we basically redid the original myth in that Myth2 engine as well,

because it just, that works better,

I guess. I'm not sure why they did it that way. But yeah, it's, it's unbelievable. If you go to

project magma.net, it's all there. It's, it's crazy. Yeah, and so I encountered this,

probably when the, when it first came out.
