Mime-Version: 1.0 Reply-To: chanson@shore.net (Chris Hanson) Newsgroups: comp.sys.mac.games Has anyone ever searched through the data fork of MArathon 1.1, unlike 1.0, but I have not checked 1.2, it says some very nasty words, involving rape type things, it is REALLY strange. -- chanson@shore.net Subject: Re: Marathon TYPE IN CHEATS From: smwood@graylock.ccs.neu.edu (Stephen M Wood) Date: 1995/04/19 Message-ID: <SMWOOD.95Apr19112134@graylock.ccs.neu.edu> Distribution: world References: <westprep-1704951958470001@liuser36.li.net> <9504191005.AA26450@129.55.47.19> Organization: College of CS, Northeastern University Newsgroups: comp.sys.mac.games Yes, there are a bunch of nasty words and phrases in the data fork of Marathon. Someone mentioned this on the Bungie eWorld forum, and Bungie responded to it with the explanation: The words are used by the Serial Number generator/verifier to make sure no swears appear in a Serial Number. They got into the data fork by mistake (they're not in 1.0, but they are in 1.1) -Steve
