[game_preservation] Gnop or Operation Desert Storm footage?

[Devin Monnens]

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!
