On a semi-unrelated note, anyone know of where I could find a copy of Marathon? Never saw it when it was released originally.

The trilogy, along with its semi-prequel Pathways into Darkness, is supposedly available as part of the Bungie Mac Action Sack package, but Bungie's online store is currently defunct and I haven't found the Action Sack available anyplace else. The old Trilogy Box Set seems to be out of print, which is, I suppose, not all that surprising. The final Marathon game, Infinity, is old enough that it lists its minimum OS requirement as System 7!

Unfortunately, Bungie was recently bought by Microsoft. I don't know if that has anything to do with the current state of the online store or not. However, Marathon (2?) was open-sourced before that point, and has been in serious development since. It is available at http://source.bungie.org/

There are, actually, severl open-source 'ports'

ranging from trying to mimic the original engine (aleph one), to rewriting it to use the Unreal Tournemant engine (Marathon Ressurection)

I you feel like following a multitude of links, http://marathon.bungie.org/ (org, not com) has all this information on the site. The parent site for that (for the curious) is http://www.bungie.org this also has links for myth and Halo (me want halo!)

http://resurrection.bungie.org/# is marathon resurrection
http://source.bungie.org/ is aleph one

yes, I like marathon...I played the beta of M1 when it was leaked to the internet in...'94, I believe...

I found copies still in stock here:

The place is based in Canada, so prices and shipping are a little steep, but not too bad. HTH.
