: It's a community project, so we try to be open to input. Insightful opinions
: and well constructed arguments would be more helpful than this
: substance-less musing, though.

I suppose you're right.

: Well, the idea behind these engine changes is to use the original data files.
: If you modify them, they're not really the originals, are they?

True, very true. Then I suppose canon-lovers can enjoy the fact they're running around on the original levels, despite the engine changes.

: If I may ask, have you, canon-lover, completed Marathon in an emulator or on
: an old Mac?

No, but one day, I shall have to. I have a Mac that can run classic, but it's not with me at the moment. Maybe when I finally get access to it again, I'll pick up the nerve to download the original and try it.

Nevertheless, I do enjoy playing M1A1 in a retro fashion: I set the graphics to software, put on Hopper's Classic HUD Plugin, and turn any other plugins off (excluding ones for the main menu). Sometimes I even make the graphics blocky and make all the sounds 8-Bit rather than 16-Bit. The result is magnificent.

Vale,
Perseus
