Has Nick tried e-mailing Bungie? They seem to have made all their old games open-source, so I don't see why they wouldn't make Gnop! and ODS open-source as well or just say they don't care if you download them. Heck, they may even have footage and screens he could use!<div>

This is a question from a former student, Nick Werner (some of you may
have seen his machinima work). Anyway, we are stumped and have not
been able to find anything that he can use (we know about the G4
footage and the small screenshots on Bungiepedia, btw). Anybody have
any screenshots or video, or anything he might be able to use? Please
reply to Nick: <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:nickmuaddib@gmail.com" target="_blank">nickmuaddib@gmail.com</a>><br>
<br>
Here is his query:<br>
<br>
<blockquote type="cite">We're doing a show at work right now that will
require me to show
video, or high-quality stills, of Bungie's first two games, Gnop! (a
pong clone) and Operation Desert Storm (a 2D tank shooter). I have
SCOURED the interwebs for stuff, but have found barely anything -- two
or three low-res images, and that's it. I DID find an emulator for the
games, but the emulators require Mac ROMs that I don't have access to.<br>
<br>
You're a guy who works with ye olde videoe gaimes... Any chance
you have any footage / stills / playable versions of either game? I
checked the Archive, but I couldn't find anything. We don't need much,
literally only like 20-30 seconds of footage, but we can't find it
anywhere. Thanks Henry!</blockquote>
