Yeah, you saw correctly. I saw Redford's had been locked when someone found a link to an older thread. Then I saw this one and thought "I'll merge it with Redford's and the older one." Then I laughed at my nublet self for not checking dates, because this <i>is</i> the "older" one.

I suppose I'll just merge the two now.

My god this game is hard (marathon 1). I never got to play these games so now I am, and reading the story, since that's the important part it seems <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' />

You'll come, over the course of the three games, to either love or hate Durandal. Me, I think that Durandal is the coolest AI featured in any game or movie ever. And no, I haven't left any of them out. You may think different, but you're wrong.
Utterly brilliant, utterly mad, utterly inscrutable, utterly resourceful, utterly contemptuous, utterly vengeful, utterly resilient...

SHODAN, sorry!

Pulse · February 2005

SHODAN just doesn't compare to Durandal. She definitely gets second place, though.

Dont forget the mods!
Rubicon and Evil are good, RED is also fun. Just try em out. Tempus Irae never did anything for me, and Return to the Marathon was a bit strange.

NakedDave · February 2005

I liked the brain damage I got having never beaten any of the games, but making it very far in all of them.

So, which AI is on my side right now? <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' />

Very quality storyline, Bungie's why Halo rocked, despite getting nerfed.

Marathon... OMG... THE HL orginator. I own Marathon 2. :-)
I love durandal for my old Powermac 200 :-)

I shall dig that dinosaur out and throw in an ethernet card so I can play thse.. thanks guys. :-)

Pulse · February 2005

Seriously, what on earth makes you people want to play these games with an old mac? Nostalgia? Hires textures, mp3 music, high resolutions, convenience and no slowdown > nostalgia, trust me.

edit: Not to mention internet multiplayer (but good luck getting Aleph One to work online, I would just use the UT mod).

ElectricSheep · February 2005

Because Marathon runs very poorly on newer macs, and Aleph One uses a different physics engine than the original Marathon. In addition, on macs with widescreen, the marathon window is about the size of a quarter. Further, the M1 adaptation to Windows always ran poorly for me, not to mention the annoying POD reference in the beginning.

raqualevangel · February 2005

i frickin rock. why?
i own all three.

too bad i trashed that POS mac. didn't think about marathon when i did that.

Redford · February 2005

Thank you, talesin. \o

Pulse · February 2005

Bump for one click installers. I'll edit the first post to include direct links to all of the games for those of you who can't seem to navigate the trilogy release site.
