: I’ve already posted this over on pfhorums.com, but I was told that you guys
: would be more likely to be able to help me out. I’ve browsed here and
: maybe even posted before, but I can’t quite remember and using forums
: built in the 90’s is difficult for me.
: Basically, I'm looking for a few things.
: A few years ago, I was bitten by the Marathon bug; and when I say bitten I
: mean like hardcore infected. I somehow managed to fall in love with a
: series of games created well before my time. Well, I say somehow, but I
: know precisely all of the reasons why: the sci-fi setting, the beautifully
: crafted story, the frog blasting of vent cores, and of course the
: incredibly addictive carnage to be found online.
: This started me on a journey through time and space to collect physical
: copies of every Bungie game Marathon and before. What's that you say?
: There's Aleph One? Yes, well, I'm an idiot with a certain affinity for the
: real deal. I had been previously using that website to chronicle my
: collection, but I can no longer sign in to my old account for unknown
: reasons. Because of this it's not quite up to date and is missing a fair
: few things.
: Right, so the favour: I need all of your collective help to assist me in
: tracking down the last items I need to complete my collection. I don't
: know why I didn't post here sooner, I've known about these pfhorums for a
: while but I guess I've been too busy on my home forum of The Flood over on
: bungie.net (now known as #OffTopic, I hate you DeeJ).
: Here is a complete and detailed list of everything I have yet to acquire.
: Prepare yourself, it's quite lengthy.
: - Pathways into Darkness (1st Release) for Macintosh - Now what I mean by
: first release is the pre-PowerPC version of the game. The way to tell the
: difference between the PowerPC release is that it's missing the red face
: in the bushes down the bottom right corner of the front of the box, as
: seen here: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...93_box_art.png . I am
: looking for this game complete-in-box, meaning that it comes with all of
: the floppy disks, manual, and box. So just to be clear, I'm looking for
: the version WITH the red face.
: - Operation: Desert Storm - I'd really like a complete-in-box copy of this
: game in fair condition (eg. not many tears in the cardboard, not too
: discoloured, etc), but I'm also interested if you've got just the
: floppies/manual/box and nothing else.
: - Marathon 1 for Macintosh, CD version - I'm looking for this one sealed in
: the original plastic shrink-wrap and in fair condition. It has to be
: sealed, not interested in a complete-in-box opened copy.
: - Marathon 2: Durandal for Macintosh - I'm looking for this game sealed in
: the original plastic shrink-wrap and in fair condition as well. If there
: are some holes in the shrink-wrap that aren't too noticeable, that's okay.
: This one has to be sealed too, I'm not interested in a complete-in-box
: copy.
: - Marathon 2: Durandal for Macintosh, JAPANESE VERSION - I'm looking for this
: game sealed in the original plastic shrink-wrap, but I guess
: complete-in-box would be okay too. Picture (disregard the player's guide,
: I've already got one):http://www.attainj.co.jp/company/images ...
: al-set.jpg
: - Marathon 2: Durandal for Macintosh, GERMAN VERSION - I'm looking for this
: game sealed in the original plastic shrink-wrap. I'm hopefully about to
: get my hands on a complete-in-box one, but I'd really like it sealed.
: Picture (this is actually the exact copy I'm hoping to soon receive; the
: owner seems to be okay with parting with it):

: - Marathon keychain - I don't care about the condition of this at all, I'd
: just really like one. Consider this a bonus goal for the collection since
: I can fairly easily recreate my own (which I may actually end up doing,
: more on that at a later date. I may or may not have been given direct
: access, by Blayne Scott, to http://maramerch.bungie.org/ ).
: If anyone here or anyone that anyone here knows has something listed above,
: please PM me. Also, if you have any questions or need anything clarified
: then don't hesitate to ask away. I would really appreciate any and all
: help.
Just realised I somehow removed the link to the collection website I was using, here it is.
