Late last month we mentioned a story at HBO about a mod for Doom 3 called Pathways Redux; Brendon Chung's recreation of the look and feel of Bungie's 1993 shooter Pathways into Darkness using the Doom 3 engine. akba has taken the mod for a spin and written a review of Pathways Redux for Rampancy.net.
Earlier this month, Brendon Chung released a mod for Doom 3 called Pathways Redux based on Bungie's 1993 adventure-shooter for the Macintosh, Pathways into Darkness, known widely to Bungie fans as simply PiD. The gameplay was a mix of what eventually became traditional run-and-shoot gameplay, interspersed with text interactions with non player characters-- in this case, dead German soldiers-- that had preceded you into the subterranean depths of a Mayan pyramid on the Yucatan peninsula.

Bungie games never die, but they do live on in websites that use frames. You have been warned.
However, if you're in the mood for a blast from the past, check out the Pathways Into Darkness page at Bungie.org, where Hamish Sinclair, who maintains that page as well as the compendious and excellent Marathon Story Page, has added information on the A1 demo version of Pathways Into Darkness that was released way back in July of 1993 before MacWorld Boston that year.
Yeoren has posted at bungie.net that after the Bungie Store sold out of Mac Action Sacks, they found another stack of Sack CDs without sacks, which are now being sold for $10.
