What sort of Macintosh can run the game Marathon?
*MARATHON*
It was THE Macintosh 3D shooter - made especially for Macs by a
Mac-related company (Bungie - now sadly assimilated by Borg). It is
optimized for MacOS, so it can run even on a 68020, though it can take
advantage of a 3D accelerator. In the game you play an astronaut
fighting robots controlled by a supercomputer that went bonkers. But
basically it's the shoot-first-ask-later type of game.
*OVERALL RATING*: 68020 and 68030 users will enjoy it (they have
virtually no choice). PowerPC users will find the graphics a bit too crude.
*SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:* A 68020-equipped Macintosh, running system 6.07
or later, with 4 megabytes of RAM and 13 megabytes of free harddrive space.
*CD-ROM:* Not necessary.
*SCREEN:* 640*480 fixed, 256 colors required, thousands recommended.
*SLEEP:* Not compatible. Weird, for a Mac-optimized game - but it was
written even before the sleep option was introduced.
*KEYBOARD/TRACKPAD: *By default the game offers you a special,
powerbook-designed keyboard layout. Isn't that cute?
*BUGS:* None detected.
What sort of Macintosh does it run really well on?
?
this wont get through
