The Video Game History Foundation uploaded an archive of E3 2000 show floor footage last week. It's quite the time capsule. The cleverly deceptive MGS2 trailer

  E3 2000 had one of the greatest trailers ever made for a game that would never be released: Halo. The e3 2000 trailer was when it was under development as a PC title, prior to the buy out of Bungie by Microsoft, after which (?) it became an xbox exclusive.

    > a game that would never be released Halo was released to Xbox in 2001 and by 2003 both a MacOS and Windows port were released. "Delayed" maybe, but definitely not "never released". I played quite a bit of Halo on PC in high school with my friends, sneaking into a nearby university computer lab and usurping it as a LAN party room. For some reason those Windows machines all had Halo pre-installed on them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halo:_Combat_Evolved https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halo:_Combat_Evolved

      It was not the same game as the PC version they initially were making though.

      Believe it or not - it was actually meant to be an exclusive for Mac before Microsoft acquired it. Here’s Steve Jobs kicking off the demo in 1999: https://youtu.be/6eZ2yvWl9nQ?feature=shared https://youtu.be/6eZ2yvWl9nQ?feature=shared
