Marathon:

First-person, Texture-mapped, 3D Dungeon Game. This is another Doom-like game. You are trying to fight off aliens which have invaded your spaceship. Very smooth graphics, and better gameplay. You have a radarscop to let you know when trouble is comming, and there is more freedom of movement. You can also aler your view up or down. Finally, you have a shield which you can re-charge as manytimes as you want, once you find a charging station. Published by Bungie.

Marathon II:

First-person, Texture-mapped, 3D Dungeon Game. This is another Doom-like game. Not much different from the original Marathon, other than slightly improved graphics, and a few new weapons. All new monsters and scenarios though. You are still fighting off alien invaders in your space-station, and you still have your radar scope and re- chargable shield. Published by Bungie.

Tested on:
A4000 with Macro-System`s WARP ENGINE `040 running at 40MHz, Cybervision-64 (4-meg), Toshiba 6.7 speed SCSI-II CD-ROM, Amiga OS 3.1
