: Last week I had the opportunity to flog the game I am working on at the GDC
: (specifically at the GDC Play Pavilion), where the Museum of Art and
: Digital Entertainment were also hosting a History Of 3D Games exhibit.
: They were showing off a handful of influential 3d games from the last few
: decades, Among which was a Pippin, running a copy of Super Marathon:

: (sorry for the bad quality, indoor iphone shot)
: It was pretty neat! The controls took some getting used to but it was very
: playable. I never thought I would be able to see one of these things up
: close, let alone play it.
: They also had a still-in-shrinkwrap boxed copy of Marathon on display (which
: I didn't get a picture of, but I am pretty sure they got off the same
: person who is/was selling a bunch of these on ebay, mentioned a few weeks
: ago here.) Cool stuff!
Cool. I am curious. Why show Marathon on a Pippin? Was the idea to show the Pippin gaming machine with a cool shooter. If it was to show Marathon why not on a Mac from '94/'95.
