Myth is a series of real-time strategy computer games, specifically, Myth: The Fallen Lords, Myth II: Soulblighter, and Myth III: The Wolf Age. The latter was developed by Mumbo Jumbo Software and published by Take 2 Interactive, the former developed and self-published by Bungie Software, now a division of Microsoft under the name Bungie Studios. Upon Bungie's sale to Microsoft in 2000, Bungie sold the rights to the Myth franchise to Take 2 Interactive.
These games represented a departure from old standards such as Warcraft in that resource retrieval and unit construction were de-emphasized in favor of squad-level and single-creature-level tactics. They were also remarkable for depth of free multigamer internet-play support, intense and continuing fan activity on the web (including a wide range of fan-created mods), and simultaneous Macintosh and Windows PC development and release.
Myth II was later ported to the Linux operating system by Loki Games.
Release dates
- Myth: The Fallen Lords - approx. November 5, 1997

Storyline
The Myth series is set in a fantasy world very similar in texture to Glen Cook's Black Company novels. A common soldier's journal narrates the tale as life itself comes under assault by an undead horde, and their masters, known as The Fallen Lords.
