I guess being an original gamester my Starcraft games were too old to be the multi-os versions. So as I was putting them back I saw my Myth Total Codex discs and they said Mac. A quick download of the updated loader and boom I'm reliving high school

The graphics are descent, though an obvious mix of Sprites (gasp!) and 3d. To think I plopped down some good money for a Voodoo2, just to play this game

I'll have to play this some. The WW2 mod was really fun...blood every where!

So anyways Myth II on a Mini...no problem.

Run to Compusa and the current versions (and battlechest) should all me multi by now. Or you can ebay them for a couple of bucks. I cannot go a month without a Starcraft fix! Myth is still an amazingly fun game. I dug it out a few weeks ago to give myself a break from WOW.

What? The first Macintosh computer was released in 1984. Starcraft was released in 1998. I think Macs "were around" when Starcraft was first released.

I believe that was a joke, sir =)

Anyway, I had been thinking there was some trick to install the Mac version using the PC disk, but a quick google came up short. Starcraft is definitely worth another $10-20 to have the hybrid copy and expansion, though.
