Bungie's Forgotten Era: Games You've Never Heard Of

Before Bungie became known for Halo, Master Chief, and Cortana, in the Xbox era, the studio had one of the strangest and most interesting early histories in gaming. In this video, we look back at Bungie’s game history before Halo: Combat Evolved, starting with Gnop! and moving through Operation: Desert Storm, Minotaur: The Labyrinths of Crete, Pathways into Darkness, the Marathon trilogy, Abuse, Weekend Warrior, Myth: The Fallen Lords, Myth II: Soulblighter, Myth II: Chimera, and finally Oni. This is the story of Bungie before Master Chief — back when they were a small Mac-focused studio experimenting with shooters, multiplayer, deep sci-fi lore, real-time tactics, cyberpunk action, and some truly bizarre ideas. If you’re interested in retro gaming history, forgotten games, Bungie history, or how Halo came from one of the weirdest studio origin stories in gaming, this one is for you.
