In Response To: Journey Back to Marathon (poenadare)

I remember a summer in high school, playing Infinity so much that I thought I might throw up. Before that, I remember having to turn off floor and ceiling textures to run M1. Before that, I remember the Macworld (Macgamer maybe) magazine ad that introduced me to Bungie.
: Yo peeps, I believe it's been *7* (ha ha no kiddin') years since I've played
: Marathon. I've decided I would write about the experience (cuz imma nut).
: So follow along with me as I post my notes here.
: The Prequel
: I've been a big fan of Bungie since Alex came over to my booth at MacWorld
: 1992. I traded him a Talking Moose for Minotaur: The Labyrinths of Crete.
: Aside: Minotaur was a 3rd person, 2D, top down locked view, spells and
: artifacts, PvP, multiplayer Mac game. It was very fast paced. If you
: wanted to stay alive you had to move, man, and keep on moving. It had that
: "run and gun" primordial FPS-ness flavor now that I recall it.
: So over 16 years ago Bungie released Marathon (12/21/1994). I was in an web
: design startup which got me a brand new Mac and a copy of Marathon. On the
: down side I had to live on bread and water the next year. Oh happy days!
: I remember: the camera bob made me seasick for about 5 minutes.
: I remember: Fiddling with the first terminal and being blindsided. Doh.
: I remember: Game recording blew my mind.
: Here I go.
: Jump!
: Next stop http://marathon.sourceforge.net/
