This Day in Marathon.
Day #800. Be careful. Everything it not is as used to be.Happy Marathon 2 for Windows 95 Demo day. Yes folks, on this day 29 years ago Bungie released the Marathon 2 for Windows 95 Demo. The demo Read Me appeared to have rewitten history. The Marathon was disabled in orbit and the colony overrun. Having been sent up to the Marathon in the first hours of the attack, you were the sole colonist left to face the onslaught. But you weren't entirely alone...No mention of Leela in this rewrite. However the fate of the Tau Ceti colony was still the same. Fearing imminent Pfhor retaliation, Durandal left Tau Ceti, taking the Rebel S'pht with him.Even on a Windows machine you can't beat at good planet razing to get the blood boiling. Marathon 2 for Windows 95 was rated MATURE by the ESRB due to its graphic depiction of violence.  The Macintosh version was never rated on the basis that only mature people played games on a Mac.  On this day of days who else better to give you graphic depiction of violence than AlexB207 (@AlexB207Swag) in this image entitled "Juggernaut down!".  Juggernaut down! by AlexB207 (@AlexB207Swag) on x.com. July 30, 2025 The colors are so vivid in this image that you can almost feel the searing heat from the lava. Nonchalantly Mjolnir Recon 54 delivers the kill shot as the Jug sinks below. In Marathon they have a saying... when the Jug goes down, you'd better be running. |
