Bungie's "Myth: The Fallen Lords" Ships 350,000

CHICAGO - December 9, 1997 - Bungie Software proudly announces the
worldwide shipment of nearly 350,000 copies of their new game "Myth: The
Fallen Lords".

Bungie's much-anticipated take on real-time strategy games has been
hailed as a revolution for the genre, and gamers across the globe are
consuming copies as fast as they can be produced. This game marks a bold
step toward Bungie's goal of being a cross-platform, multinational
entertainment software producer of the top rank.

"Myth: The Fallen Lords" is a rare example of a game shipping
simultaneously not only for both the Windows 95 and MacOS platforms, but
also in a German version, with Japanese and French versions close
behind. Though Bungie has formed partnerships with powerful allies like
Eidos Interactive to ensure that foreign markets have full access to the
game, North American distribution remains in the hands of their internal
publishing machine. Like the development team, the publishing and
marketing unit is a small group of people who know how to make a very
big impact.

"Myth's sales jumped off the line on day one and haven't let up since,"
said Jerry Madaio, Director/Senior Buyer for Electronics Boutique.
"Bungieƕs 'Marathon' games were huge on the Mac platform, and now 'Myth:
The Fallen Lords' has shown us that their games are just as popular with
PC users."

Instrumental in the conquest is bungie.net, the free Internet gaming
service maintained by Bungie as a place for players to create and join
multiplayer battles. As multiplayer play is a core element of the game,
bungie.net affords an easy way to track the game's success. bungie.net
is already nearing current capacity and Phase II is underway to handle
the anticipated demand of the holiday season.

Since the game's release, tens of thousands of users have registered
accounts and can be seen competing in bloody contests at all hours.
bungie.net's website boasts the Leader Board, where at any time one can
learn who, out of all of these thousands, is the highest ranked player
in the world.
