I wouldn't say Abuse blows away Marathon, but it does rock.

The plot isn't anything absolutely fantastic, and there really isn't much AI, but it's still a fun game to play

I love Abuse. It is easily one of (if not the best) platformers ever.

-S

What's cool about Abuse is the fact that it's free, now. That means you can download it (it's like megs or something), and then play it! Mac or PC, also. =)

Abuse is cool. I was pretty blown away when I played the PC ver. years ago. Using the mouse in a 2D platformer was quite innovative.

Get it here.

You are right - windows does not read HFS fromatted cds.

However, there is still a way (2 in fact).

method 1:

If you have a mac running OSX handy, you can use it to change the data into a format windows can handle, then, copy it to your windows machine (by burning to cd, or using a USB stick etc)

Go to the command line, and type:
cp /path/to/CD/data/Shapes /path/to/windows_files/Shapes
cp /path/to/CD/data/Sounds /path/to/windows_files/windows_files/Sounds
cp /path/to/CD/data/Music /path/to/windows_files/windows_files/Music
cp /path/to/CD/data/Map /path/to/windows_files/windows_files/Map
cp /path/to/CD/data/Map/rsrc /path/to/windows_files/windows_files/Map.resources
cp /path/to/CD/data/Images /path/to/windows_files/windows_files/Images
cp /path/to/CD/data/Images/rsrc /path/to/windows_files/windows_files/Images.resources


method 2:

This way only needs a windows PC, but you have to download a program called HFVExplorer. It allows you to read the Mac Action Sack, and copy the data to your harddrive in the correct formats. Instuctions are in the INSTALL.Windows.txt
