: To put some context on this Matias' page went live on 12 Oct 1994 and Tristan
: Horn announced ftp.amug.org:pub/marathon on 3 Dec 1994.
: So what was Marathon news like in October 1994? Well you had the IMG articles
: with backstory, screenshots and... yes... "Cyberspace". You had
: screenshots from Mac software catalogs (General-RADIX has unearthed most
: of these I am sure). You had Bungie's official announcement in July 1994.
: You had the folks who played Marathon and bought it at Boston Macworld
: August 1994. "Just waiting for the boxes... two weeks".
: And then there was the Marathon... Beta
: Lots of stuff for the 1st Marathon fan site.
Oh... and let's not forget... AOL.
WTF???
Yes... Bungie had a strong presence on AOL in those early days.
On 22 Sept 1994 Bungie uploaded a collage of Marathon screenshots to the Mac Games library on AOL. This was the first true glimpse of what Marathon was to be. Forget everything you had seen up to now. This would be the future of Marathon... well apart from doors which cast shadows/light as they moved... and the fabled... Carnage Palace.
Cheers
