Misc. info. on Marathon for our beloved public:

Technical:
Will run on: any 256-color Mac, '020 or higher, system 6.0.5 or higher
(networking requires 7.0), will ship as a "fat app" (PPC native), with 3
megs RAM, will take up a little over 4 megs hard disk space.  

Marathon is networkable for up to 8 players over LocalTalk or Ethernet,
modem playable with ARA.  It can be played with the keyboard, joysticks,
gamepads and even a VR headset if you happen to have one lying around (we
don't sell 'em).  Each box will ship with two serial numbers for immediate
2-person network play.

The bulk of Marathon is done, but the devil is in the details.  It should
start shipping around the first week of September.   

Regards,
Doug
