In Response To: Aleph One 1.1b3 (treellama)

: Beta 3 is now available from SourceForge. Mostly improvements to Marathon
: compatibility, including fixes to G4 Sunbathing, flamethrower flight,
: Pfhoraphobia,...
oh, boy -- hot damn! :)
:...and restoration of the controversial multiple weapon bug.
Uh, what? We are putting bugs back into the game? I would have much preferred this bug stay fixed the way it was in the previous betas. The necessity of the "strategic" killing of Enforcers on Total Carnage, and not on any other difficulty level, may be nostalgic, but it is also nonsensical. This is a bug -- right out of Jason Jones' mouth -- bug, bug, bug.
Anyone who wants to experience the full nostalgic experience of Marathon needs to play the original game, preferably installed via floppy disks, on their period correct pre-OS X Mac, ideally on a 68040 powered Mac Quadra or lower, in 100% (but not full) screen, pixelated glory. Anyone doing anything less and thinking they are playing true Marathon is only fooling themselves.
And yes, I really do want my last words to be sarcastic.
