Funny how the only people that have fond memories of it are Mac users. Why? Because it fucking blew away everything on the Mac, because Macs are shit too. Why wasn't Marathon made for the PC where there was a huge market share? Simple, because its only reason for being played was because there was nothing else to play on a Mac. In the PC world it would have flopped because it, was indeed, shit.
