It was a re-work of an existing desktop they put out before ONI launch. The Christmas Version was available on the web site (IIRC) the holiday after ONI launched, and was my desktop on my PowerBook 520c Until I was reprimanded at school for having something too racy as a Desktop. Lady shoulders are detrimental to a young mind, I guess.

And it was a a pre PowerPC application and very much will not run anymore. :(

Albeit, I do still idly collect CDs and have a growing Vinyl collection (though I don’t own a record player) so there is something to be said for that familiarity. Or nostalgia.

I guess there will be a Christmas Level?

…Make sure you choose the right platform, and stick it in your USB external superdrive.

Seriously, I can confirm it still works on modern Mac stuff. Or, at least the training section did. Though, I do NOT recommend using a trackpad.

(Also, as someone who just spent 20 minutes copying ~600MB, WHY the hell are y'all using Optical media in this day and age?)

And for Cody's concern, It's clearly low Rez, but it looks fine.

I don’t know many people with desktops at all anymore, and know quite a few people that don’t have PCs at all, just a tablet and a phone (which sounds like a nightmare to me).

I find my optical disc drive invaluable since I use it to burn media all the time. But there isn't a single Apple Mac you can buy new currently that has an optical drive inside.

But disc burning is really the only thing I use it for now. I can't recall the last time I used it for anything else. It's definitely going the way of the floppy. But I think as long as people has DVD and Bluray players they will still be a thing.

I’ll build a gaming PC eventually. I’ve said that for five years now, but it’s just never made the priority list.

I never played it.

Is there an easy way to play it, now, besides getting a PS2? It's not on GOG or anything like that that I can find.

Ew, PS2. I actually own it on PC, though I don’t have it installed currently. I assume it’d run fine on Windows 7. Haven’t upgraded to 10. No PC versions online?

1. Download OS X Intel app.
2. Copy the GameDataFolder from the disc over
3. Place App in the same folder.
4. Follow the directions in the txt to get around gatekeeper.

Enjoy.

Menus and chapter screens do not scale up if running at larger resolutions, but the game does. Tested on OS X 10.11 and 10.13.

Do not play it on PS2. It's horrible.

Just buy a disc online or something. If you have a Mac, there is an OS X version of the app you can download. If you have windows, I dunno you might be able to run it as is.

I haven't even seen a computer with a disc drive in like five years, much less own one.

I found the disk with the Intel port of the app itself (requires 10.6 or higher), but I'm not sure what you can do about the actual game; the app simply replaces the original app, so you need to have the original game files.

I just tried moving it to my main work machine (running 10.12.6), it launches (the second time through), but nothing happens. Works fine on an older machine (running 10.6.8), but I don't know if it's just the OS or if there's some serial number stuff on the old one that wasn't in the folder I transferred over. :(

Bottom line - I don't know if it still works on current OSs. :(

Also, the HUD elements don’t scale up as the resolution increases. The HUD is teeny tiny at 2560 x 1600. Good luck if you have a retina or 5K display :-/

This forum is very appropriate for my Bungie fandom.

Loved it. It had the best fighting mechanics I've ever experienced. And several levels, like Rooftops, stick out in my mind as fantastic. The music still gets my blood pumping. I must have watched this a zillion times.
