In Response To: Re: Marathon on a console (M-Class)

: I think the silliest thing about the console port would be the question of
: would anyone play it. Can they just download the game to the console or
: run it off a CDR? It could be useful to someone who can't play marathon on
: computer but have the console. Or could it not? Are PC ports of Aleph One
: adequate?

They run the Marathon games okay (no green flashing screen effects when you pick up a powerup or damage effects, though), but they lack many of the features found in the other Aleph One ports. Currently, it seems like the Windows port is trying to catch-up with the Marathon 2/Infinity engine...
