With the PC version of Myth III: The Wolf Age in the bag, MumboJumbo's efforts have turned to finishing the Mac version. In a forum post on ForumPlanet, Executive Producer Mike Donges gave readers a status update on both versions of the game. According to Donges, the PC version of the highly anticipated prequel will be in stores on Tuesday. As for the Mac version, the game is currently undergoing heavy testing at MacSoft's offices. Here's Donges forum post:

Hello. According to Take 2, the game should actually be in stores on the Tuesday the 30th (in the US). It may be in some stores on the 29th, so...call the store that you usually go to on the 29th. They may have it. If they don't, call other stores. Don't let them try to tell you that they have "Myst III." That's not the one you want.

The European version has gone off for duplication, but I have absolutely no idea what the ship and store dates are for those versions. Thus far, we have integrated localization for French, German, Italian and Spanish.

The Mac version should be out within 2 to 3 weeks of the PC version. I know that won't be a happy-making thing for you Mac users out there, but that is pretty much out of our hands. The folks at MacSoft are pounding away trying to break the game as I write, so they are on the ball.

The IMG web store is currently taking pre-orders for Myth III: The Wolf Age for $35. Keep in mind that this (and many other special offers) are available for MacGames CD subscribers only.
