A project that's been on the growing "to-do" list here at Rampancy for quite a long time has finally been begun. While Rampancy has, in the last few years, focused on Bungie's latest franchise, the Xbox flagship game Halo, it was originally conceived as encompassing all Bungie games, and had ambitions to serve as a kind of site-of-record for all things Bungie, under one roof, with one staff and one interface.

Part of that would mean having an archive of images associated with each game-- not just the images themselves, but text accompanying each explaining their place within the history of Bungiedom.

That work has now begun, with the population of image galleries for Myth, Myth 2, Myth 3, Marathon, Marathon 2, Marathon Infinity, Oni and Pathways Into Darkness. We've started with the official screenshots released by Bungie on their own site, as well as scraps we found kicking around our hard drives. We are working now to supply commentary for each, starting with Marathon and Myth. Galleries for Halo and Halo 2 are being built, but annotation has not yet begun, although we have today added many images to the galleries of Halo hacks inside our community gallery. If anyone has other images they'd like to see included, feel free to let me know.

However, there aren't many people-- at least, not many apart from Louis Wu-- who can consider themselves walking encyclopedias of Bungie lore, so there are certain to be holes in the record. With an eye towards fixing that problem, every image in the gallery can have comments attached to it, like all other items at Rampancy. If anyone sees a remark that seems amiss, or sees an image that sparks a memory from their own experience playing a Bungie game-- please, feel free to go ahead and post a comment.
