Please this is not a Mac newsgroup. If you want to discuss Marathon or any 
other lame Mac games please go to the appropriate group. Last time I checked 
this group was started by PC users. If you want to pay a premium to play mostly 
adequate games then stick with your Mac. Before any Mac users flame me, yes I 
have played Doom and Marathon on a loaded Power Mac. To be frank it was OK but 
my old 486 was a lot smoother and sounded better. My Pentium with wavetable 
just walks all over it.
