If you're not familiar with the Myth series, suffice to say that it's somewhat legendary among long-time Mac gamers. It stands next to Marathon as one of a very small catalogue of games that Mac gamers could hold over their PC-owning friends' heads back in the good old days. (Not coincidentally, they were developed by the same company, Bungie, who would later go on to join the Dark Side and make the Halo games for Microsoft.) Now, Project Magma, a group that works to keep the Myth series current, has announced that they are opening a public beta for their newest version, and they're seeking beta users to help bug-proof the code.
If you need convincing as to why you should be interested in trying out Myth, just hop on over to our Top 10 Greatest Apple Games Ever list where it sits at number one. It's a real-time strategy game that gained fame during the late 90s among strategy enthusiasts. Even in a time saturated with strategy games, Myth stood out by offering a focus on individual unit tactics rather than boring resource management a la Age of Empires or Starcraft.
You can download the public beta here, so if you have some time for a nostalgia trip or if you're passionate about retro gaming, give these guys a hand and go help them smash some bugs.
