A Requiem for Soulblighter
Oh, the times we had together, my Soulblighter CD and me back in the halcyon days of 1998 and 1999, he with his shiny silvery surface and colorful Bungie label. Soulblighter's parents hadn't yet been purchased by the evil monopolistic overlords, and the future looked bright and shiny. After one exhausting evening of gameplay, Soulblighter even let slip some advanced information about a new edition coming to our Bungie family, an offspring so gloriously magnificent that it would change the world of Mac gaming. Of course, we know the rest of the sad story of Halo; I don't have to recite it here. As these things often go, Soulblighter and I drifted apart after that sad day in June of 2000.
So imagine my surprise when Soulblighter resurfaced into my life last weekend from a dusty CD spindle, and his news was spectacular. As much as I loved Soulblighter and his younger siblings, there has been a group of people toiling away for several years whom possess an even greater love of the Bungie children of Myth. This group of people is called Project Magma, and they have made it possible for all of us to re-unite with Soulbighter and his siblings natively in Mac OS X!
Oh, how I danced with joy and tears came to my eyes as Soulblighter once again entered my life. Oh 'Blight, how I've missed thee. Rejoice, rejoice, for thee runneth joyously on my MacBookPro.
