It was so long ago, and I was so young when I was playing it, I doubt that it could live up the memories I have of it. Sometimes its best to just let memories be memories, you know? It's the same reason I haven't played Marathon since my power-mac was decommissioned in favor of a PC back in the early aughts (I still doodle and fantasize about designs for maps though, haha).

I first played Marathon in 2010 via Aleph One. The control scheme does feel clunky in some respects these day, but I still thought it was a phenomenal shooter, and one of the best games I'd played in a long time. Although that trash compactor "puzzle" was pretty stupid. xD

This notion of not playing things because they might have aged seems silly to me. If it was any good at the time, at most you maybe need some acclimation to readjust to the older style.

I mean, I suppose it's entirely possible that I'm just an extreme edge case. I live in a world where people twice my age refer to films from the 1980's as ancient history, but a few of my favourite films were made in the 1920s.

I dunno.
