Pathways was where it all began (kind of) for Bungie. This was one of the bigger projects they took on, and the first truly innovative and inspired game they created. It would serve as the foundation for a lot of their future game development ethos, and despite being rough around the edges (it came out in the era of wolfenstein) it shines through with some innovative mechanics. Stiff FPS controls, strict item management are buoyed by an interesting story and the ability to talk to the dead (by actually typing) in order to look for clues and piece together the mystery of the god that lies Dead but Dreaming at the bottom of a mysterious ziggurat in the Yucatan Peninsula.

Bubblegum Crash
Bubblegum CrashBubblegum Crash is a PC Engine graphic adventure game based on the anime OVA series of the same name. The anime/game is set in the near future of 2032, which has seen Tokyo split into two by a massive earthquake. Corporations rule the country, production-line humanoid robots named "boomers" are being used by villains to commit crimes, and the beleaguered police are too under-budgeted and incompetent to handle it all. The all-female mercenary team the Knight Sabers, who use powerful exosuits called "Hard Suits", are the city's best defense. The game operates similarly to other adventure games of the era. The player is given a selection of commands that they can use to interact with the world, including talking to NPCs, picking up and using objects in their inventory and moving to other areas. At any time the player can look and listen for extra context clues. The commands are in English, but the game's story and dialogue text is entirely Japanese. The game will occasionally switch protagonists, starting with Nene Romanova and moving to Priss, Linna and Sylia at various points.
