  Bungie Studios - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bungie Studios is an American video game developer founded in 1991 under the name "Bungie Software Products Corporation" (more popularly shortened to just "Bungie Software") by two undergraduate students at the University of Chicago, Alex Seropian and Jason Jones.
Bungie was one of the few publishers to develop primarily for the Mac platform during this time, rather than port PC-platform games, or not publish for Mac at all.
However, Bungie later stated that the Haunted Apiary was not directly written by them, although it was written using the Halo Story Bible, and its status as canon is still in question.
