I've built a software renderer just to see what it was like. It's different from original Marathon with triangles and the great use of rectangles as portals. I need to know if original Marathon had overdraw. Assuming it used the Painter's Algorithm then it does have overdraw and clipping windows limited spans to a rectangle to reduce overdraw then the near polygons drew over the far polygons. I guess.
