As stalin says, go to source.bungie.org and download alephone for windows. The readme explains how to get the data off the mac action CD for you to play marathon 2 and infinity.

If you want to play marathon 1, you will need to look at this thread: http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=261195

If you want to play Pathways, you'll need to install a mac emulator. Googling will find you one with out too much trouble.

oh. see if you can find someone to give you gnop. As silly as it sounds, i've found endless hours of entertainment with that app. And yes, I'm an extremely bored loser.

If you ever find yourself with a few friends and an old mac network, defintely play minatuar. It can be hard to get a hold of couple of Classic Macs to play it, but if you can, its a total blast. Think primitive Diablo Dungeon RPG multiplaye rgame.

PiD is amazing. Its also freakin hard. So play through it if you can, and if you can't finish the game, go to pid.bungie.org to read its great story.

And checkout myth. It has explosive, quick, and addicting netplay that no RTS has come close to (all the others involve too much downtime, resource gathering, and waiting. myth streamlined everything to virtually nothing but tactics and killing). And myth has been well patched too, so no excuses that you don't have an old machine!

Have fun!

What is the state of games like GNOP and the Desert combat one?

I have multiple copies of most of the bungie games (mac oni, pc oni, pc halo, xbox halo, marathon and pathways many times over, abuse and minotaur, myth I and II) but I lack the first 2...

Well, as far as I know, the only way to get GNOP! is through the Marathon Trilogy Box Set. I’m afraid you’re going to have to troll ebay to get your hands on it though (although well worth it, IMO. Best 50 bucks I’ve ever spent!)

As for ODS… heh, good luck.

Ok thanks you guys, I already downloaded marathon 1, and have yet to get the information from the action sack cd. Thanks.


Maybe this should be a sticky....

Thanks hangbrain.

I suppose the only other way of getting them is if bungie (or the mods) would be able to announce them as free, like marathon is through m1a1 and marathon 2 for PC is.

until then, I wait in joyful anticipation :P
