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] spartain ken 15 That sounds cool, I am sure Bungie has a few copies...[/quote]Yeah, I was wondering that myself. I've only read that there was one in the Bungie lobby, behind glass the glass. If I had known that before I had gone, I would have definitely liked to have seen it. But this [url=http://marathon.bungie.org/story/_images/bungiewestshelf.jpg]makes[/url] me wonder if Bungie is sitting on some behind close doors. This picture was taken at the Bungie West offices back in 1999. But if Bungie is sitting on [url=http://twitpic.com/44skxm/full]what looks to be[/url] about 20 of these rare TFL limited editions, kind of makes me think that they might have a couple of copies of Super Marathon. I would definitely up the ante from a couple of wristbands, to throwing down a few hundred dollars to the Red Cross Japan donations if I could get my hands on a copy. I rather have that then having like 200 wristbands sitting on my desk, lol. [Edited on 03.20.2011 7:42 PM PDT]
