In Response To: Wow... so I stumbled upon this site (Raven Archon)

: Hello all! I don't know how active this site is, and I hope I'm not
: intruding, but I'm in need of some Marathon help, and I tried some other
: forums to no avail. I stumbled upon this site while browsing an old Halo
: site and was shocked to see it still has recent posts, figured maybe
: someone could help.

: So I'm trying to play the Marathon games on an old iMac G3 (which I'm
: actually posting from if you can believe it). I downloaded the most recent
: free versions of the game and copied them over to my iMac. The games PLAY
: fine, but the first game hangs and then hard locks every time I try to
: save. The later games seem to save fine, it's only the first one. I have
: tried everything to fix this, including a fresh OS install on a newly
: initialized HDD and still the first game hard crashes the mac as soon as I
: click save.

: For reference I'm running OS 9.2.2 (OS 9 Lives!) and trying to play Marathon
: 1.2. I've run disk doctor, and norton, tried playing with Virtual memory
: turned off/on, tried several install locations, even tried other
: installers.

: I realize I could just play the Aleph one remakes, and I actually have a
: fairly far save in the first game on my PC, but... I have a Vintage Mac...
: I really want to play Marathon on it. If anyone has some sugguestion, or
: even just an explanation so I can give up it would be greatly appreciated.

G3 iMac and mac os 9? I am NOT 100% sure, but that might be the problem. I believe the original Marathon was never updated that far.

You should wait for a better answer from someone who knows more, I'd like to believe you could get a solution to your problem here. That is, if you insist on playing the original game.

But I understand
