What a great game. Not only can you look up and down, but there's a great storyline in this shooter.

I was reading the bungie forums as to why no one has uploaded the audio from the CD and apparently its because Alexander Seropian, creator of the original Marathon soundtrack says no to having it on the internet.

Don't hate me....

@The-Lurr-King

You removed your previous bin/cue upload that contained game+audio tracks and replaced it with a .iso image that does not have an audio partition. What was your reasoning for doing this? Thanks.

No, Bertyboy... i was using this game on a iMac G3 400 without any problems, but one thing i see is that firsttimers at this game cant find several keys.

To Read the manual is really important.

This game is BAD! It has no pause feature (that I can find) and as far as I know the only way to quit is to force quit the game. It has made my PowerBook 1400 and my iMac 333 act up during and after gameplay.

For some reason when I'm running this in either Basilisk II [SSW 7] or SheepShaver [OS 9], the mouse support is bizarre. I move the mouse slightly to the right and I spin around forever and ever. Just a problem with the engine or is there something I can do?

Edit: Replaced 'xxx 7' with 'SSW 7' - IIGS User
