Heyyo,

Marathon's a free software game, so you can legally download it and play it. =D

Marathon is Bungie's first FPS title. Very good, and pwned onna mac. ;)

Ok, for Marathon, it's a spaceship, the aliens invade it, taking it over, and destroying a lot of the ship's main functions, leaving only 2 main AI's alive: Druandal, and I think the 2nd one's called Infinity (or Laurna or something????) you work with the 2nd ai, and any fellow survivors to retake control of the ship, and send out distress signals to other nearby human ships or anything to get help... for Marathon 1, that's the storyline. For the other 2 in the marathon series? well, beat the 1st and I'll reveal more. ;)

Just a heads up: MARATHON AND HALO ARE 2 SEPARATE STORIES, AND DON'T MEET WHATSOEVER. For Red VS Blue, remember, that's a little fictional machinima series, it tries to add on a comical side to the story of Halo, which doesn't exist cause remember, the Halo ring world got blown up eh? and blood gultch is onnit... So they used Halo1 as the present, Halo2 as the future, and the Marathon series as the past, pretty much the only true tie-in is that. Bungie's FPS game-creating timeline. :p

Heyyo,

Lol, I dunno, I jumped on the Marathon FPS and just figured it was the 1st cause I used to play that all the time on my old skool mac, it ran much more smoother than Duke Nukem 3D, man, Bungie can do optimization miracles compared to other companies, even in the old days. *not gonna mention any names, you figure them out, hehehe...*

Heyyo,

Darn, I was close. I havn't beaten any of the Marathon series (Hey! I was a broke Mac gamer who only bought demo cds and a copy of warcraft 2, LMAO! damn I ruled)...

So far I know the 2 AI's, that's it...
