if anyone can tell me.. I remember my brother having a macintosh.. he also had a game cd. it was holographic and there was a star in the center.. I forgot what the cd was called.. but it had tons of games on it.. can anybody tell me the name of the cd? this game also came in the cd.
@JShadow94 I assume that was either the Marathon Trilogy collection, or the Mac Action Sack. I don't remember the Mac Action Sack having a holographic star disc, but the Trilogy wouldn't have "tons" of games, so... *shrug?*
what the hell, they redid the version on XBL, they took off that little monitor deal with all the weapons and ammo types, why why why??? This version looks awesome. Does anyone know what compatability you need on a laptop or computer to play this?
@bimm3rguy8807 I also believe that Bungie should have made a real sequel to Marathon 2, since Marathon: Infinity was some sort of alternate sequel. If you read Durandal's last message in M2, he technically says that he will be taking you to another planet because something is going on there.
Such thing never happens in Marathon: Infinity, since you seem to be traveling through alternate realities, some in which the events of M2 never happened.
Bungie should remake the Marathon Trilogy with today's graphics and remixed music, 16 player LAN and online gaming. They could also add a jumping button and make it so that the three AI's narrate the messages you read at the terminals in their respective voices.
Even though i already own the Marathon Trilogy for the Macintosh, i would gladly pay 60 bucks for a remade version since those games defined my childhood and pre-teen years.
This video sure brings back memories!. I used to own a Macintosh computer with all three original marathon games, and played the crap outta them each day that i could.
I have played the games again using Aleph One, but it's not the same. In the Aleph One version of M1, the first level starts with a Pathways into Darkness reference, this was done as means of alluding that PID and Marathon exist in the same universe.
This reference is not present in the original M1 game for the Macintosh.
ohh I miss the days of countless "Kill the man with the ball" network matches in the shareware version, in the computer lab at school during lunchbreak.
@xXdemon467Xx great, now I'm labeled as "one of those kids"
rlly, I'd be glad if you could educate me and let MYSELF come to know about this more, rather than putting me up for troll bait...
You want your example? Take a look at Tehgrimreaper for a second... >_>
besides, I was still new to the knowledge of marathon when I wrote those comments, and by now, you think I would've learned SOMETHING? rlly? I hope to end this here...
@RusVon i get your point. i know how halo was going to be... maybe better for you if it had been an rts... what im saying is that halo wouldnt be the commercial hit it is today if it had been released for macs and pcs only. too bad that microsoft can wipe their asses with dollars....
@andrewwk6 There is no possible way to know what it may or may not have done or been. Unless you've been to a parallel universe where Halo wasn't bought by Microsoft.. in which case.. PLEASE! TAKE ME WITH YOU!
@pansyhater lol i dont need to be in a parallel universe to know that. halo became popular because of the xbox... on pc and mac it would be nothing today, another generic pc first person shooter
@andrewwk6 Whaaat? I know this is a bit of a late reply, but dude: you've got it 100% backwards. Halo MADE the xbox. The halo series alone has sold the xbox and the xbox 360. While there is no way to know how the xbox would have done without halo, it definitely would not have done anywhere near as well. In fact, it may have been a flop.
@pansyhater lol, i think its true on both sides... the xbox became popular because of halo... halo has great sales because of the xbox... im glad it happened that way :)
@FthFpsGamer97 he said Marathons logo ripped off Quakes logo and it has no original content. Then he was proved wrong by about everybody on this video.
Acecrack started this video from a place it took me days to get to when I played this back in 1996 :)
before you get to this part, you pass a whole level with 3-4 of these big boss-like hovering things, then need to dive and swim ALL THE WAY back through lava!
even when I did this, my health bar was less than 5%... insane level..
and there were earlier levels that would just blast you with enemies to see how long you last, so this level isn't even the hardest....
@Melenia1000 Yeah because you know whenever Im out in the woods, or making a fire, I ask my friends to "Pass me that pile of faggots" Gtfo you douche bag.
First came Operation Desert Storm (a tank sim), then there was Minotaur: The Labyrinths of Crete, THEN it was Pathways Into Darkness which was their first commercial success.
14 Years ago I own an I mac with the first marathon installed since that moment I get fascinated with the game & earn money to buy marathon durandal & Marathon Infinity love that games such a shame they where nearly forgotten now days bungie must rereleased them in x box PS3 & Wii best first person game ever
And then all of that text is negated in Marathon Infinity. So basically, you played through all of that for nothing. May as well not read that final text.
Allright, just want to thank everyone who answered me, I've been checking the links you guys gave me and... IT EFFIN DOESN'T ASNWER A DAMN ! in fact it brings more questions :-p but still, I love the brainstorming it gives :-D
Do you have the original mac game for your cpu? If you do congrats, because I did not hear about this game until I heard it was going to be released on Xbox live in a game informer. Please answer back because i only have the Aelph One version of the game for windows.
It's not a newer version it all, infact if anything it's reduced quality and an older form of the game, bungie redid the game for the xbl version with beter quality.
@crbbatista Well, Doom focuses on action. Although Marathon still has pretty good action, it puts a lot more emphasis on the story- probably one of the first fun video games to do so. I personally like Marathon more, but hey, they're both worth downloading! They're both free!
@KampferXeon I think it had something to do with one of two things multiplayer that was easy to get running on Xbox Live or that they choose the most popular and the live version did not sell well enough to spend money putting the other two on there
the only way to jump is to do a grenade jump, which is where you fire a grenade at your feet, usually done in combination with running. just make sure you have full health before trying it.
is tehre a place where I can learn more of the marathon universe? I just bought the game on XBL and the story is confuse to me.
Who is the hero,does he have any background? who's that Robert Blake? Why it doesn't have any romance like MC & Cortana?(that one is a joke sorry :-p ) .
@yoomazir The Hero is a Cyborg that worked on a ship called the Marathon, that became under attack. After the events of Marathon 1 the Cyborg was put into stasis against his will by Durandal, the AI ingame, and brought out to do his bidding for Marathon 2. Robert Blake is the head of a resistance on the planet where the game takes place.
@yoomazir I know I'm... a LITTLE late to the party here.. but there's an entire site devoted to this if you haven't found it yet; marathon.bungie.org/story/
@Thek213 Actually before Pathways they had a pair of others... some LAN-focused hack and slasher, and a Desert Storm themed strategy or action game. I remember the box art from old Mac Warehouse/Macmall type catalogs :)
@Thek213 Hehehe, likewise with myself with Operation Desert Storm. xD
Bungie has gone far with the shooting games, always way ahead of the rest. Marathon had quite the features for a mid-90s game. Swimming, being able to 'look' around. Glad to know they are still around.
@Thek213 But before that (I'm a necromancer, I know this is old) there was Gnop, Minotaur (or whatever, it's a multiplayer maze game off the top of my head), Operation Desert Storm or some such, and then the Myth series.
Aw god dude, Infinity, with its Dream levels and time-traveling and team-switching and countless "GOD DAMN I don't understand this shit" moments. Good times bro.
High resolution textures. You can get them along with Aleph One (the Windows freeware version of the game engine) and the specific game files from the website I'm putting on the description of this and the other videos.
"pfhor scientists disassembled and removed the AL leela from the marathon, loading her aborad a vessel bound for pfhor. But the ship fell into the hands of a nar privateer bewtween jumps."
Honestly i think the Halo series is a COMPLETELY NEW OUTLOOK on human/alien warfare.
The time line and plot compared against the two productions do not fit. If in Marathon, the Pfhor were the first alien species discovered by humans in the 28th century, then why is it that in Halo the humans are fighting the Covenant in the 26th century?
See the difference? Either Bungie made a very fatal typo, OR they had another idea for a NEW VIEW on warfare between humans and aliens.
Either that or if Bungi plans to remake the Marathon series (likely within the next few years as Halo is over and they want money) they will just retcon the entire thing
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Marathon is a sequel to halo, because in the ending of halo 3 master chief gets put in the freezer and he travels to the universe of marathon and probably the story is that after 200 years master chief wakes up and finds himself in a new place which is the universe of marathon.
This is like star wars, lucas arts made episodes 4, 5 and 6 first then made 1, 2 and 3!!
so somehow he went to an all new universe? thats just stupid he got left out there not blown into another dimention. wasnt the marathon the first ship earth sent into space and thats set hundreds of years ahead of halo. where in halo they already have colonys on other worlds. the only way i see the games coming together is game play but heavily updated. did you know that from the guys that made marathon only one of them is still at bungie. they are linked but not in story.
this game is the best, forge is the coolest thing about it, my dad makes gigantic lvls with it. marathon is the first basic version of halo, halo got the hunter and lvl ideas from it. ( thier both bunjie games). has anyone played marathon tempus irae or morgana?
Morgana's very cool, but I love Tempus Irae. Morgana wins on originality, but Tempus Irae is so fun and so beautiful. Terrific level design. I used to make marathon maps (I made a few for Eternal), and Tempus Irae was a huge influence.
i think it has a lot to do with bungie abandoning the mac platform wholesale after being acquired by microsoft. bad blood between apple fans and microsoft fans, and bungie was allied with apple for a very long time
i remember this game it was soo cool my aunt had it for mac...i never got the name..i though it was called marathon 2000 but then i got the names right...this game was so cool..i played it when i was like..6 0r 7..now im like 14...hahah and i didnt know that this made halo..so cool..
yeah i understand, because there has been traces of connected storyline between halo 1 and the original marathon series, cant we all just get along????
That epilogue is one of the greatest in gaming history ♥

First came Pathways Into Darkness, then there was Marathon, and then Marathon 2...
Thek213 2 years ago 4
@Thek213 Actually before Pathways they had a pair of others... some LAN-focused hack and slasher, and a Desert Storm themed strategy or action game. I remember the box art from old Mac Warehouse/Macmall type catalogs :)

@Thek213 Actually Operation Desert Storm was the first game. Then came Minatour. Pathways into Darkness and the rest came after those two. :)
Been supporting them from the beginning. Frog blast the vent core!

@bakaushi86 Oh, I didn't forget those; so many hours of my teenage life devoted to Minotaur...
I actually meant to say that it was their third First-Person Shooter game.
Thek213 1 year ago
@Thek213 Hehehe, likewise with myself with Operation Desert Storm. xD
Bungie has gone far with the shooting games, always way ahead of the rest. Marathon had quite the features for a mid-90s game. Swimming, being able to 'look' around. Glad to know they are still around.

@Thek213 Pathways into Darkness = dope
grogson 1 year ago
@Thek213 But before that (I'm a necromancer, I know this is old) there was Gnop, Minotaur (or whatever, it's a multiplayer maze game off the top of my head), Operation Desert Storm or some such, and then the Myth series.

@Thek213 so was Mythic 4th?
thecapone45 1 year ago
@Thek213 Actually, you are wrong. This was somethin' like their 5th game. They made a game called Desert Storm, Gnop!, and Minotaur.

If you think Durandal's plot is hard, try Infinity. :-)

Aw god dude, Infinity, with its Dream levels and time-traveling and team-switching and countless "GOD DAMN I don't understand this shit" moments. Good times bro.

your marathon 2 is different! for example the pink energy thing have better quality, mine is worse, is that a newer version or what?

High resolution textures. You can get them along with Aleph One (the Windows freeware version of the game engine) and the specific game files from the website I'm putting on the description of this and the other videos.

if u read the credits at the end it says
"pfhor scientists disassembled and removed the AL leela from the marathon, loading her aborad a vessel bound for pfhor. But the ship fell into the hands of a nar privateer bewtween jumps."
is it just me or does that sound like halo?
cortana was a AL
they were in hyper space (jump)
if u read on it says they where never found.
it does sound like halo to me

Honestly i think the Halo series is a COMPLETELY NEW OUTLOOK on human/alien warfare.
The time line and plot compared against the two productions do not fit. If in Marathon, the Pfhor were the first alien species discovered by humans in the 28th century, then why is it that in Halo the humans are fighting the Covenant in the 26th century?
See the difference? Either Bungie made a very fatal typo, OR they had another idea for a NEW VIEW on warfare between humans and aliens.
SegaSeven 2 years ago
i see ur point, but bungie would have to make changes like that to make the halo franchise understandable and enjoyable

Either that or if Bungi plans to remake the Marathon series (likely within the next few years as Halo is over and they want money) they will just retcon the entire thing

Who says the Earth in Halo is the same Earth in Marathon? Different planets, in different galaxys.
PadawanJB 2 years ago
This comment has received too many negative votes show
Marathon is a sequel to halo, because in the ending of halo 3 master chief gets put in the freezer and he travels to the universe of marathon and probably the story is that after 200 years master chief wakes up and finds himself in a new place which is the universe of marathon.
This is like star wars, lucas arts made episodes 4, 5 and 6 first then made 1, 2 and 3!!
TheFUTO 2 years ago
so somehow he went to an all new universe? thats just stupid he got left out there not blown into another dimention. wasnt the marathon the first ship earth sent into space and thats set hundreds of years ahead of halo. where in halo they already have colonys on other worlds. the only way i see the games coming together is game play but heavily updated. did you know that from the guys that made marathon only one of them is still at bungie. they are linked but not in story.

by the way, halo and marathon arnt related to each other, none of them are prequals or sequals towards each other

this game is the best, forge is the coolest thing about it, my dad makes gigantic lvls with it. marathon is the first basic version of halo, halo got the hunter and lvl ideas from it. ( thier both bunjie games). has anyone played marathon tempus irae or morgana?
AlchemyNinja00 2 years ago
Morgana's very cool, but I love Tempus Irae. Morgana wins on originality, but Tempus Irae is so fun and so beautiful. Terrific level design. I used to make marathon maps (I made a few for Eternal), and Tempus Irae was a huge influence.

Marathon and Halo are both great games, I don't see why you have to tell Halo fans to "jam a blunt fork in your eye".

i think it has a lot to do with bungie abandoning the mac platform wholesale after being acquired by microsoft. bad blood between apple fans and microsoft fans, and bungie was allied with apple for a very long time
