#0001 - Marathon: Fresh Baked 90s Gameplay

meager on Aug. 19, 2007

This episode is inspired by
Marathon: Durandal
Available on the Xbox Live Arcade
http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8 Marathon: Durandal looks like the original Doom, but plays more like a RPG dungeon cralwer… you're often looking around for items then backtracking to unlock further areas, all while blasting baddies.
Controls are responsive and the camera works well, but it's hard to get past the aged look.
If you didn't play and like it when it originally came out, you probably won't care for it.
This one is recommended only for nostalgia buffs; those curious to see the shaky history of video games and how far we've come.




Lizzy Says:
You'd think seeing muffins fly through the air would make you hungry, or at least want to salute a baker… but they resemble those old-fashioned oat bran muffins that your doctor wants you to eat.
I'd much rather shoot those at monsters and have a donut.



Clyde Says:
Why must I shoot all these alien creatures?
Has anyone tried opening peace talks?
Surely we have can befriend them with our superior shiny-bead-making technology.
