Does anyone know anything about Marathon? It was Bungie's first first person shooter. I think it came out a year after Doom, but it was only available on Mac.

I had that on my Mac, I think it had "real 3d". The graphics weren't up to much on my low powered LC475 but it was still good to play. I think there was a PC version?

Here's some Bungie info (http://zdnet.com.com/2100-11-521630.html?legacy=zdnn)

As far as I'm aware Halo was going to be on the Mac & PC until M$ waved a big cheque at them http://forums.newdoom.com/UBB/smilies/cwm27.gif

That game looks interesting. Also noticed they have a link to a port that looks a lot like Quake. Funny to have a game that looks like GL Quake but has DooM-ish architecture.

"Once in a while a programmer really writes something he's proud of, a slick, elegant, blazingly fast routine that stands as a benchmark against which other code will be judged by. However, this is not the case with TED's fill routine. This slow, stupid algorithm will casually fill one plane of data in a painfully creeping manner. Press ESC when it gets confused." - John Romero on TED (Tile EDitor)
