Howdy -
Does anyone know if Bungie made films of the Marathon Tournament at the
SF MacWorld? If so, are they planning to make them available? They
would be fun to watch...

Bungie saved the films for two matches:
1) The 3-round 1-on-1 final match (which was good BTW, even though the
wrong person (IMO) won... =) )
2) The 5-person 3-guys-from-Bungie-including-Jason-and-the-two-finalists
game. Tuncer Deniz (IMG) had said the films would appear on the Feb. '95
IMG CD ROM, but maybe the folks at Bungie will be nice enough to post them
to the 'net...

I take exception to your remark that the wrong person won, IYO since I was
the winner of the Marathon tournament. I easily outclassed virtually the
entire field there. Even in finals, I rocked the guy who I was playing
against. I was laughing when in the second round of the three round 1-1
final match when the alien was the first thing to hurt me after I killed
the guy a couple times. That second final did not have any high caliber
people in it. In my opinion, the three people in the tournament who knew
what they were doing were myself, CYBERNATOR, JohnB, and Gustavv. I think
that when the films come out they will show that I fairly won. Only in
the third round, after I had gone up by a difference of EIGHTEEN did I not
play my usual style, opting instead to play it safe. Its too bad that
Bungie didn't save the first game of the first semi-final match because
that was the game in which I played my best in. But watching the match I
played against the Bungie people would be great because that was the most
fun I've ever had in a match since it was done purely for the enjoyment of
the game and not competition.

I guess you deserve some award for the most modest Marathon player, eh?

Duly noted. One can get fired up pretty easily when someone brags from a
position they won dishonestly. Garrison did apologize, however
hamhandedly, and I should be repsectful of his intentions. Thanks for the
reality-check.
However, should cybernator want to play me when the ara patch comes out, I
will be happy to pay for the call. I have an 8100 with ARA server.
