Bungie's first release was the free Pong clone Gnop! for MacOS. This was followed by the tile combat game Operation Desert Storm ... for MacOS. For much of the 1990s they developed a series of increasingly technically detailed first person shooter (FPS) games for this platform. Their first big break was the FPS Pathways Into Darkness in 1993.

Throughout Bungie’s years as a Microsoft property, certain key personnel have left the studio to form new, independent game companies. New companies spawned from former Bungie staff include Wideload Games, Certain Affinity, Double Aught and Giant Bite.

On the Bungie side of things, Bungie would not have had the kind of success had it not been purchased by Microsoft. Microsoft gave them the opportunity to release a launch game, for the Xbox. That in itself was a huge window of opportunity for Bungie which it wouldn't have had, if they weren't bought out by the company now under Steve Ballmers reign.

The Bungie Quizmaster angrily rubs his skull and glares at you. Then, with a mighty shrug of his bony shoulders he sits down at his ancient formica desk. He knows his time is limited and he must produce his greatest quiz yet. He takes his stylus in hand and removes a chilled clay tablet from the mini-bar next to his desk. With great deliberation he begins to shape words in the secret Bungie cuneiform only known to him.

Bungie.net began life in 1996 as Bungie.com, a community/business website covering Marathon and previous projects. Before Bungie was purchased by Microsoft, Bungie.net was used to host and play the Myth series of games. Even in the beginning, classic pages such as Letters to the Webmaster and Soapbox existed, if in a somewhat graphically inferior manner to the later versions. A few layout and content updates ensued throughout 1997, until at the tail end of the year, consequent to the release of Myth, Bungie.net was born, serving as a community, statistics and multiplayer metaserver. Bungie.com remained to cover the business side, while its sibling thrived. With the release of Myth II at the close of 1998, the site was further updated and now supported the multiplayer sides of both games.
