Myth III User Reports
After the Myth franchise went to Take Two after the purchase of Bungie by Microsoft, a developer named Mumbo Jumbo was contracted to develop Myth 3. The team was disbanded after the release of the game, which was not particularly successful.
Rampancy created this area to catalog reports of users of the game post-release.

Forum Updates
The futuremyth forum has been more active lately as gamers discuss what they think of Myth III.
Crusader left a message saying that he has had no problem running the game and it's been quite enjoyable. There was only one minor thing:
The only problem I had was running the movies, they black out and I only get sound, however on a little card in the box it said this was a known problem.
Santa's Head, who works for Mumbo Jumbo, replied with the following:
Been having some odd things happen with slightly out of date drivers, and the no video thing has been fixed on a number of boxes with the new Quicktime install.
So if you, too, are having trouble with the videos, go download the latest version of QuickTime.
In addition to the video woes, many Mythers have been disappointed to find that the pre-ordered goodies that were supposed to ship with their EBGames order were mysteriously absent without explanation. Zinfandel inquired about this and posted the reply he received from EBGames:
Answer: Hi Zin!
Thank you for your email!
The promo for Myth III should be shipping at a separate time. If you don't receive your promo tomorrow, please give us a call at 877-432-9675.
