I love Myth: History in the making, I think it's a great game and I have nice memories from playing it, but the egyptian level shadows a bit the general goodness of the game. Sometimes critical items doesn't appear where are supposed to be, and that makes the game impossible to finish.

Sometimes everything works fine but many times happen the missing items glitch. Does somebody know what causes this weird behaviour?

    as far i know it is not bug but rather cheat protection. if you have too much lives the game removes some items to prevent completing game by a cheater.
    well, that is what i read somewhere. it could be just some girl talking.

    btw. i like Myth too, it is really excellent game and the spectrum conversion has a bit different feel than c64/amiga version. i think the shift from fast action adventure to slow paced exploring action makes the zx version the best.

    I know. It has a bug with continue positions, so you have to complete egyptian level without Continues, or it fails to restore items in correct locations. Anyway, it is easy to complete, especially coz of that Ankh, which restores them even more than you have from the beginning :)

    The only bug I found in this excellent game is in level 1. It is possible to jump from certain platforms and stay in the air. It's also possible to walk in the air in the 7-head green thingy (forgot the name), if you go to the bottom right corner after killing it. :)

    I remember the bug happening sometimes too...

    I loved this game! And I think the Speccy version is the best I've played (C64 and NES being the other versions)...
