Way back in the day Bungie had a game called Marathon, there was also a sequel. Did anyone play this game besides me, it was really cool. I was also wondering if they plan to make another one.

What was the game like? What did you have to do in the game? Maybe you could give us some screen shots you might find on the webbernet?

I had an (old) friend who played this constantly when it came out. He LOVED it.
I never got to try it unfortunatly.

I looked up Marathon 2, looks kinda like doom, but a bit better.

Correct. Marathon was Halo's prequel. I was hoping for another Marathon game though. It was such a good game, must have spent two years worth of time playing and editing it. Brings back good memories.

You were a soldier that was ordered onto an alien infested giant space station.

A Mac game? You mean...like...a computer game for Mac?

DISCLAIMER: I liked MYST and SimAnt. And that wierd fish-game. Then the iMac came out and everything since has sucked.

Yes, a game for the mac. You realize that Mac is more of an artists machine. Mac has the best software for music, and other artsy stuff.

Macs are better for big stuff that you can't afford to lose.

No they aren't, XP is as, maybe even more stable than macs. Macintosh suck in every possible way and form.

Well that proves it. They may not be similar story wise, but they are the same game. If you can get your hands on a copy of Marathon, (even though it is really old) I strongly suggest you do.
