A new Marathon: Infinity scenario has been released. Return To Marathon will indeed return you to Marathon:
Marathon Rubicon is a scenario for Marathon Infinity that is going to knock the socks off of every Mara-fan. It's been in the making for over four years now and its recently launched web site makes it look extremely promising.
Inside Mac Games got their hands on Scott Brown and Chris Lund of the Marathon Rubicon team and asked them some questions about the upcoming project. Here's a snip:
Kudos to VirtualWolf, who spotted an unexpected posting on alt.games.marathon: a pleasant (very pleasant) surprise for Marathon fans who have been waiting for another good scenario to come along. From RHL's news:
Remember a while ago somebody stumbled across a Marathon screenshot on the Rampancy.net website, and nobody knew where it was from?Well, I think I know now: www.marathonrubicon.com
Kudos to derf, who pointed out an interesting article on violence that, among other things, actually cites Marathon 2 as a potential source of violent responses from college students. Must be all those BOB incidents... the relevant excerpt:
In a move that had many long time Mac users impaling themselves with pieces of wrought iron, Microsoft announced the newest addition to their product line today: Windows Infinity.
As predicted by industry pundits mere moments after the announcement, Windows Infinity incorporates technology recently acquired in the acquisition of Bungie Software to achieve new heights in user interface obfustication. From the PR:
Sigh... it's too bad we already used the pfh pun last year.
Marathon's Story, the venerable grand-daddy of most or all of the Bungie fan sites, ticked past five today, which is something like real old in web years. Webmaster Hamish Sinclair is also giving no sign of letting up soon, and it seems entirely likely that the site will see a seventh birthday. Aye, we all know that's what you're waiting for, Hamish... ;)
While flitting around Bungie.Net, I was shocked to discover that both the launch of the Marathon and the comemmoration of the Marathon being attacked by the Pfhor have been cancelled! Poena Dare was the host for both events on the B.net calendar... Could the cancellations have been in protest against the acquisition of Bungie by Microsoft?
As pointed out, threats included, by mad.max on RHL, MGL has posted a notably nifty Marathon desktop picture for your downloading delight. However, while it is available in plenty of sizes, it contains no new screenshots... come on, Bungie! Give us some new screenshots, you tightwa--oh, wait, this is Marathon...
