I would be willing to pay good cash for a book or a acrobat enabled cd with the M story web page. I wonder if Hamish could make enough dough from publishing to make it worth his while? ---Beemer Dan From: Hamish.Sinclair@tcd.ie (Hamish Sinclair) Newsgroups: alt.games.marathon Subject: Re: Marathon Trilogy Date: Wed, 04 Jun 1997 18:27:34 +0100 Organization: Trinity College Dublin Lines: 35 Message-ID: <Hamish.Sinclair-0406971827340001@smd022.smd.tcd.ie> References: <AFB88E4F-10AD9D@17.127.12.26> <19970604050301.BAA02205@ladder02.news.aol.com> <33952F5D.28EB@Dimensional.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: smd022.smd.tcd.ie In article <33952F5D.28EB@Dimensional.com>, moto667NOSPAM@Dimensional.com wrote: > Pfhorrest wrote: > > > > I was dissapointed in the Scrapbook.

It would also be out-of-date as soon as it was released. The Marathon's Story page is free on the web. If you are trying to read it while on-line but are concerned about the cost then simply download the document source of each page and read it at your leisure. The Marathon Scrapbook was only 30 pages not 700 thus it was not possible to include every detail of the Marathon story. Cheers Hamish |
