About the game

Dating from 1994, Marathon for Mac is preserved in the VG90 archive as a catalogue entry — a factual marker of a release that belonged to the 16-bit golden age.

By 1994 the landscape around releases like this was set — bigger sprites, richer sound and fierce console rivalries pushed 2D craft to its peak. Reading Marathon against that backdrop is part of what makes browsing an archive by year worthwhile.
