Retracing Pathways Into Darkness
Through the efforts of Man Up Time Studios, Bruce “Hippieman” Morrison and Mark “Have Blue” Levin, the classic Bungie FPS game Pathways Into Darkness lives again, available for free in the Apple App Store for computers running version 10.6 or higher of OS X.
For their work in making this ancient artifact available to modern audiences, Bungie’s Community Focus this week is on Man Up Studios.
Originally released in 1993, the game predated the Marathon series and tasked a lone soldier with transporting an atomic weapon deep into an abandoned jungle pyramid in order to prevent a sleeping god from awaking. For the game, go here. For information on the game, go here to the excellent fansite, pid.bungie.org.
