: I agree with Ojo, I hate those damned tank cyborgs. On my old LCII, at 1fps,
: the sound of their grenades bouncing towards me was the only real warning
: I had that I should press the fire button and hope I was facing them in 2
: seconds when the game started firing. Without doubt the darkened room on
: What About Bob? (you know the "only you can survive the fall"
: room), was the scariest aurel experience ever.
Ahh.... I know what you're talking about, man. These days I've got a rev. C iMac and a PowerMac 6500 to play the Marathon trilogy on, but back then.... all I had, for a LONG time, was an old Performa that played Marathon 1 like this:
==V I E W - - - - - - S T I L L
A L I E N --- I N -- M O T I O N ===
==
K --- A ----
=---B A M!
---K ------- --- - -- A---
B - - A - - M!!!!
=====
I, and my two brothers, cheerily romped through the good old Marathon at about 1 frame per second. If you saw an enemy, there was a one or two second pause while the game would register this. Fighting was essentially trying to predict where enemies would be in the next few seconds, and happening to both point that direction AND fire a lot in said direction to hopefully kill them. The whole thing was like some awful slideshow. I am not exaggerating, it really was that S ------ L- ----- O ----- W.
Ahhh.... the memories. :)
