I was forced be to on account of needing a Mac for college. Thought Marathon fucking dreadful at the time and it really put me off Bungie games. Whichever Halo I played on the 360 did little to change my mind.

What was it about it that you didn’t like?
It seemed to create an atmosphere, mostly with the sound and music, but also the lighting, that I’m not sure I saw equalled for a long time. Plus it wasn’t just ‘kill all the bad dudes’ as Doom was at the time. Although the puzzles were constrained by the engine, which meant they weren’t always rewarding.

PS, what 90s Mac games did you like, if any?
I used to like a lot of the Ambrosia shareware games. Iron Helix and some of the Gabriel Night point and clicks stick in the memory.

Couldn’t find a retro game thread, so excuse me if this is off topic, but are there any 90s Mac gamers in the house? Unlikely, but if so, I am reminiscing about the Marathon games a lot lately. Lots of fond memories attached. Pages worth.
