This Day in Marathon.

Day #681.

Marathon Classic HUD Tablet.


Marathon Classic HUD Tablet by Ashton J. Tayeb on ArtStation. March 2025.

This custom 3D modeled version of the Marathon Classic HUD Tablet is by Ashton J. Tayeb, a 3D artist specializing in Hard Surface Modeling using Blender.

Ashton hails from Melbourne, Australia and can be found on ArtStation.

To misquote Durandal.
I won't waste my time trying to explain the playing mechanism to you - your primitive mind could never grasp its complex nature.
See if you can work it out.

Here's the back view. Battery not included.

Marathon on a tablet reminds me of that famous quote by Jason Jones back in early 1997 after he removed the serial number protection for the Marathon Trilogy release.
It's always bothered me that Marathon's public lifetime would be over when the last registration card or serial number list got lost. Hopefully this is the version that I'll be playing in fifty years under emulation on some fuckfast portable the thickness of a sheet of paper...

And hopefully it won't be running Windows.
