That and the fact that 95% of the population here hasn't played Gnop!, Operation: Desert Storm, Pathways Into Darkeness, Abuse, Marathon, Myth, Oni...etc...

*I hope I didn't skip one...*

Damn it...I knew it...Thanks for the correction Taz.

Also, I don't think Abuse would qualify since Crack Dot Com developed it and Bungie published it...if I am right. Eh oh well, point proven.

Bungie did the Mac version, if I recall correctly.

The Underground is for classic games, but 95% of the threads are about the Halo Movie and Marathon help. Most of the others no one's played.

Well in my opinion that is because most of them require you to use Basilisk II to emulate the Mac to be able to play them.

Right now there's only, say, 4 old school topics in a week on average (not including this week, because there's been a lot). If there was a forum dedicated to only old games, it'd be totally inactive. Better to merge Bungie General and Old Bungie Games together.

Skillet was here and referred to himself in the third person.

Well..this forum can be used for the same thing. Correct me if I'm wrong but we're allowed to post anything about old skool Bungie games and bungie in general here and since there really aren't that many posts here about old skool games, there wouldn't be much of a reason for a whole forum for that would there?

I'll just post about the old games here.

Don't. The Septagon is about the site and community, not the games.

Mourne not your comrades who must dwell / too strong to strive -
Within each steel-bound coffin of a cell, / Buried alive;
But rather mourne the apathetic throng / The cowed, and the meek -
Who see the world’s great anguish and its wrong / And dare not speak.

Actually, this forum is for the Bungie.net website and the community, not oldskool games.

Reading your post again, it sounds like you may have thought you were in the Underground when you posted this. Maybe I'm wrong.

Those topics are found in the Underground. Unfortunately, the Underground is a low activity forum and few users post about the older games.

I think when he posted that, this thread was in The Underground, but then a ninja moved it without leaving a marker behind. But I may be wrong.

*cough* Low activity? Maybe you weren't looking at it during the Halo Move phase. And the Halo 3 phase. And...
Few people post about the old games though, and I wish that more people would.

There's not a lot of interest in them. If Bungie had a Marathon contest or something there might be some more activity.

There would not be enough Old Skool game topics to fill up a completely new thread.

No they don't. Not if you actually own a Mac.

A Mac old enough to run them, and how many people do that?

Classic mode sucks.

Every time that somebody comes asking for help on how to get Marathon or Myth, or for help on getting out of a certain area they are stuck in (like the compactor) is a victory for us.

Sadly, there is little to talk about. The community does not have many tips to swap, and complaining about what Bungie should do with weapons in Marathon or PiD, or formations in Myth would be pointless because Bungie has already moved on from those games, and they probably won't be doing anything with them. Complaints about the games in general is probably roughly 50% of the activity in the other forums.

Pfft...please. I am too poor to own one of those fancy gadgets. Maybe it be due in part to me privateering around the seas. But mostly because I don't have a jube
