The apex of Bunige's career. the unsung game of the early 90's. it learned dual weilding faster than the halo series...
User Rating: 8.8 | Marathon MAC
I have to start off by saying that i have never seen a more plot driven FPS of that time than in Bungie's Marathon. at the time and even somewhat now, pc games were usually made for ibm's and 100% compatibles rather than macintoshes. lucky for me i had an apple computor as well as a 100% compatible. when i heard of Marathon i figured it would be a doom clone, with even less for a story (ID software's FPS's aren't usually games with any deep and/or gamplay driven stories). like other games i was unsure of, i had no expectations. playing it, i didn't until i had beaten it, because i never knew what would happen next! i saw features in Marathon i had never whitnessed in a first person shooter before. you could look up and down with your character, you had to solve visual, the levels were often huge compared to Doom, and you could dual weild light weapons!! truly a ground breaking game...
