: As President People alluded to, remember you are comparing Marathon (1994)
: with Doom (1993), and Jason Jones was almost certainly influenced by Doom
: in making Marathon---everybody was back then. Hell, I remember my sister's
: (who has no love of video games) reaction to Doom back when we were in
: high school, and even *she* thought it was awesome.
: But yes, I agree that the graphics and on Marathon, and especially Marathon 2
: were better than any of the Dooms from the mid 90s. That's part of what
: makes the Marathon series so memorable.
Indeed! I was blown away by what Doom did, but Marathon was such a huge improvement in so many ways. Basically I wanted to take the OOS error (probably caused by some weird interaction between the Aleph One beta and Irons' coop script) as an opportunity to do a little crossover thing.
We'll probably continue to do some crossovers, but not too often, it's still going to be mostly Marathon, but adding in a sprinkling of other older games.
