Super Marathon
Does anyone actually know the true differences between Super Marathon and Marathon and M2D? I've seen multiple times that there is some different weapon placements, modified levels of the game, and different AI on some levels, but I've never actually seen someone clearly point out the differences between the game on the Mac and Super Marathon, on either game.
If you have no clue what I am talking about, Super Marathon was essentially Bungie's first console game, which was on the notorious [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Bandai_Pippin]Apple Pippin.[/url] And for those that don't know, Super Marathon is rarest game to find on the Pippin, and Pippin games are rare in general, let alone Pippin consoles. I seen two Super Marathons on ebay in the past 4 years, they went for about $700+, which is a little out of my price range. I've been looking for a copy somewhere not ebay for a couple of years now so I could buy a Pippin and maybe find out the answers to my questions by myself, but with no luck.
So if anyone knows the true differences, I wouldn't mind knowing.
Or if anyone knows who has a copy of the game, I wouldn't mind knowing that either :)

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Placid Platypus Super Marathon was a direct port of Marathon and Marathon 2: Durandal; both included in one title for the Pippin. No major differences are present from the Mac games aside from those small changes to a few levels also present in the WIN95 version of Durandal, and the lack of background music in M1. [/quote]I should of actually said something about that, but I've actually read places where people have referred to that article and said what he was saying was actually wrong. And that the game doesn't actually contain any M2 PC maps, but modified Mac levels. Edit: Actually the source saying it's a modified Mac map I got from here. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Potomo As for the differences I can't really help as this is the first time I've heard of this console or this version of Marathon. Though I haven't read this yet I hope it will help: [url=http://blog.freeverse.com/monkeyblog/archives/2010/06/super-marathon.php]Info on the game[/url][/quote] Since I only know of 1 article that says that it's from M2 PC, and another one saying that it is a modified Mac map, I guess I can't know for sure, unless I had my hands on one. It's really hard to find sources for this game. [Edited on 03.20.2011 12:11 PM PDT]
