Pathways into Darkness [SEP] Development
"Pathways" was Bungie's fourth game (and third commercial title) after their previous game, "Minotaur: The Labyrinths of Crete", sold around 2,500 copies. In the summer of 1992, Jones was living in dorms at the University of Chicago when he saw "Wolfenstein 3D", a shooter game with three-dimensional (3D) graphics. Inspired, Jones created a rough 3D-graphics engine for the Mac that simulated walls with trapezoids and rectangles. Originally, Bungie intended "Pathways" to be a straightforward 3D version of "Minotaur", but they quickly found that the top-down perspective of their previous game did not mesh with the 3D presentation. An additional consideration was that the developers wanted to create a game that did not rely on then-rare networks and modems, an issue in marketing "Minotaur".
