Ok, we'll wait
soon, I will buy this book from a friend of the forum Tain.
but before would like to see one or a few pages. if you post them here, I thank you.

Julio
Any pages in particular ??

Not sure how that would help you determine whether or not to buy this book?, but i will "try" to do that asap tomorrow. ;o)

If my word as a Myth Addict and long time map-maker for MII has any weight with you, then when i say you cant go wrong purchasing The MII Handbook, you will know it is money well spent. :oD

My copy led directly to making my first map, which led to the old Vista Forum to get further help, where i met and befriended 3 characters with whom i am still friends with today. *TagZ* :oD

The MII Handbook is informative, funny, and at times shocking. Even after all these years i still refer to, or read it again for info i think i may have forgotten, or for a quick chuckle. Plus it has some Q & A with some of Myth's creators etc etc etc.

If i didnt have this Handbook already, i'd pay $100, maybe more, to get it. Especially knowing what i know about it. :o)

haha! god, the old days. g'day, ghost! long time no see, and good to see you! what are you up to?

i usually tend to drift through the forums every so often and try to keep up on general goings on, but i've been so busy as to have no time for myth any more, though i got a few games and some time on udoghl around last christmas (which was very nice indeed!). one of these days i will get back on there for a little while...

If you can convince anyone else to pay anywhere near $100 to purchase the Myth II handbook I'll give you a %50 commission on anyone you send my way who buys one.

OK Julio, here you go. Theyre kinda large, so may be slow viewing, but you can read the pages if you zoom in. Hope this helps you. :o)

I like the way you think Vinyl. I will get back to rebuilding my hacked version of Bungies Mind Control Rayâ„¢ and have them lining up for you as sOOnâ„¢ as as i can get this brain-brainstem disassembalating capacitor 7000 thingy figured out. ;op

BTW, did you get the MII Handbook CD with those books as well ??

WHOOTERY!!

lank !! GREAT to see you, so to speak. :oD

No time for Myth!? Thats blashemy isnt it ? Well, at least youre not totally AWOL like some of us. ;o)

Really hope you can scrape together enough spare time for a night of games sometime. Until then i'll content myself that you're still out there making the world a better place for all of us. :oD

Catch U again sOOn my friend! :oD

No, but I am pretty sure the contents of the CD are all publically available files (I'd have to check to see if the films are still around somewhere) so one could recreate the CD if one felt the need to have a CD with that particular collection of maps and plugins on it.

J.Charles is very funny,

on page 34 - the forces of the light - he wrote: "... Think of the berserks warriors with serious emotional problems."

ah ah.

I liked the author's writing style a lot - I read it after I had been playing Myth2 for several years so in theory knew most of what was in the book but I still found it to be a very entertaining read.

I have an autographed copy in near-mint condition. (never been read) Only thing is it doesn't have the now-very-outdated CD of mostly 3rd party maps and things. If you have any interest send me a PM - I promise not to gouge you, even though this is a very rare collectible. ;)

I didnt know there was a Myth Handbook. I saw it on here and thought it is very cool so I ordered one today. Amazon (at the link above) had a couple Used-Very Good condition with CD. I got mine for 10$ plus about 4$ shipping. Cant wait to get it. They had some left if anyone is interested.

The Myth II Handbook is a really good book. I bought a bunch a few years ago because I liked it so much!

If you can get a decent copy for $10 + reasonable shipping from Amazon that seems like a price that would be hard to beat.
