Myth III Reviews
Another Somber MJ Plan Update
Jay Kootar at Mumbo Jumbo Games has updated his .plan file, this time with a short and somber poem:
Robert Frost -Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
Mumbo Jumbo, we hardly knew ye.

The Show Goes On: No Myth III Virus
Myth Village is reporting:
Thanks to help from Computer Associates we have confirmed earlier suspicions. Myth III full and the demo do not contain the Nimda virus. This was a false positive on Norton's part and should be fixed during the next update. Also note that any installer using a recent version of the Installer Shield will also trigger this same false positive.
Very relieving news for gamers, Mumbo Jumbo, and Take2.

ax sent us a link to the installshield.is6.general newsgroup, which is currently discussing the nimda virus. Apparently, this may not be an issue limited to the Myth III CD because it is likely an issue with Install Shield. Rick Lowe writes:
