Gnop! is a freeware computer game created by Bungie.[1] It was a simple Pong clone written and released nearly 20 years after the original. The name Gnop is Pong spelled backwards. The game was created by Bungie co-founder Alex Seropian in 1990, almost a year before Bungie's official incorporation,[2] but bore the Bungie name on itself and was referred to as "Bungie's first game" in official Bungie materials.[1] The game proved reasonably popular among Mac gamers because it was free and user-friendly. Seropian also sold the source code for the game for 15 US dollars.[3]
Gnop! was later included in several compilations of early Bungie games, including the Marathon Trilogy Box Set and the Mac Action Sack.
