In Response To: Re: Marathon 4??? Heh heh heh (Max Etchemendy)

: IMHO, Deus Ex carried the torch of gaming greatness from the Marathon series.
: Until DX hit the Mac, no game I had seen topped Marathon for story and
: single-player gameplay. (Though obviously Marathon has long since been
: left in the dust technologically, but that's another issue entirely.)

: And just as a side note, DX did not rip off Marathon with the AI thing.
: Actually, it was much more of an omage to Neuromancer, by William Gibson.
: Though you could argue that any first-person perspective game (I loathe to
: say "shooter" in reference to Deus Ex, since it's really more of
: a CRPG) with a truly compelling story owes its existence to the trails
: blazed by Bungie in the mid-1990s.

: -Max

*FAINTS* ARE YOU ME? I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO LIKED "BOTH" OF THOSE GAMES... phew... I'm not alone... Deus Ex AND Marathon are both my top 2 games...
