Myth II: Soulblighter:
Two of the Myth series’ epic sword & sorcery sequels debut today on GameTap. Myth 2 was born from the creative minds at Bungie Studios, who brought the gaming world one the biggest franchises of all time - Halo. Mixing strategy with fantasy, this medieval masterpiece will win over gamers who like a good evening of dungeon crawling and undead skewering. When Soulblighter originally launched, GameSpot said “Myth 2 is about as good as a computer game can possibly be.”
“The recent release of Myth 2 on GameTap warmed many Bungie hearts,” said Harold Ryan, Studio Manager at Bungie Studios. “Now Myth 2 is going to be more accessible for contemporary gamers who will get to enjoy one of the most fun and addictive real time strategy games ever made, if we say so ourselves.”
Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri:

“Not only is Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri one of the most intricate and subtle game systems I’ve worked on, it was great fun creating the characters and populating the world,” said Brian Reynolds, CEO Big Huge Games and Alpha Centauri Lead Designer. “I’m thrilled that GameTap is making the game widely available again.”
