In Response To: CyberMaxx VR headset for sale on eBay *LINK* (Bob-B-Q)

: Hat tip to Shappie on the Marathon Discord for spotting this. Yours for only
: $893!

: Wondering what this has to do with Marathon? Have a look in the Blasts from
: the Past section. As far as I've been able to find, VictorMaxx never did
: get around to making the retail headset Macintosh compatible. It was
: expensive, sold poorly and was quickly eclipsed by competitors. Bungie
: gave up on VR by the time Marathon 2 was in development.

: Of course, to really complete the Marathon VR accessory set you would also
: need the ADB Automatic Assault Rifle with Grenade Option... if you could
: find one. The unit Bungie demoed at Boston Macworld in August 1994 and
: displayed at their office in later years was built out of an off the shelf
: toy: a Larami Z-Matic M16 cap gun. I'd be surprised if more than a few (or
: even one) ever existed.

: I had a hard time finding photos of an unmodified Z-Matic M16, but I've
: linked a copy of an eBay listing for a less fancy variant below. Despite
: the name, it seems to be modeled after an AR-10 rifle from the late 1950s.

I always wondered what people who had the opportunity to use this at Boston Macworld thought about the experience. Never did see any posts about this.

I believe there is only one ADB Automatic Assault Rifle with Grenade Option. Claude did capture a few pics of it at the Bungie offices way back. Who knows where it is now.

Thanks to Shappie on Marathon Discord for the heads up.

Cheers
Hamish
