This Day in Marathon.

Day #641.

Happy Marathon Infinity Announcement Day.

Yes folks, on this day 29 years ago Bungie announced the development of Marathon Infinity at Macworld Expo Tokyo, Japan 1996.

The Bungie Booth girls were out in force for the event.


The Bungie press announcement read:
Never-before-used enhancements will free the player from the strict linearity of previous games...
The announcement came as something of a surprise. Greg Kirkpatrick had left Bungie some months before so who was going to do it? Matt Soell had the answer. Matt wrote:
"Greg is working with us again, although he's working from his new home in Brooklyn, NY. He's put together some VERY interesting ideas, and while I can't talk about them in any detail yet, I can tell you that the plot of the scenario in Marathon Infinity will be as labyrinthine as you've come to expect - perhaps more so.."
Indeed, Marathon fans are still trying to extract themselves from this labyrinthine nightmare.

RUN

I drop my gun
and run
shedding all the weight
of imagined moments and fear
because fear is not the blood
not the light that plays
casting light upon my field
of grass

The Pfhor are repelled. Their ship vanished, leaving behind a thousand bodies in space-courtesy of a funny elf girl. Frieren saved Marathon and many BOBs. The colony on Tau Ceti had also repelled the Pfhor attack, thanks to nine military Mjolnir Mark IV cyborgs covertly living.
What an excellent tour-de-force of Marathon in the form of images.

Hats off to kanokoga and Frieren.
