I'm just wondering if someone (maybe if Bungie creates a non-profit division?) could walk the thin-legal-line of open source and copyrighted material in order to make it possible for someone to put Aleph One and the 3 installments of Marathon onto a single CD. All software ready to roll, no need to tweak any graphics, scenario, or data files. (I'm still unable to get any of the lovely artwork to show up on Durandal's terminals, only his text. Doesn't stop me from enjoying the carnage and story however)
It would be nice to see the old things running happily again...I keep looking at my Marathon CDs wondering if I should go through all the hassle of trying to get them to work, if only to suffer it shattering the good old memorys I had with this utter classic. Even back in the day I rated it much higher than Quake as it had something Quake, or for that matter anything much that ID made and thats a great storyline. I can still remember fondly running around and the outside wall of a small room filled with mobs, and a Juggernaut in the centre which was masacring its own side, before the pot shots I took at it blew it up hehe....or was it you take the pot shots first, Jugg goes bang and you needed the other mobs to give you cover from the blast *tries hard to remember*....ahhhhh the good old days :) Swimming lava pools, rocket jumping to secret ledges, and all the other fun things *remembers*....ahh sod it, I gotta get this going again hehe *runs off to try and get this to work*...need something to play till Halo2 comes out :P
