Anyone have any luck getting these running? Do they have native installers, perhaps they work properly with WINE?

If they use DirectX (it should say on the box) then you will probably need Cedega to run them under Linux.

Myth 2 has a native version that (after fully patched) works with OpenGL. Tuxgames even has it in stock still. http://www.tuxgames.com/details.cgi?nc=1134508472&gameref=8

I don't know about Myth 3 though.

Myth, not Myst. Completely different Genre. I refer to the Myst style games as "Jpeg adventures" Whereas Myth is a RTS (but original in it's design, since unlike most RTS games, you don't build buildings which then create different units, you are instead given a set number of units per level, and you have to strategically use those units to take on whatever is thrown at you (by placing archers on high hills, using your swordsmen to guard them, etc.), if you have any soldiers left after the battle, they gain experience so the next level you'll have stronger soldiers)

Of course, you could have just been joking :D Myth was a really cool game though. I only ever played the first MYST, they are literally jpeg adventures though. The newer ones are just mpeg adventures :D

If you verify this to work... I will buy it.
