Ahhh .... I remember when Marathon came out on the Mac.
My friends were playing Doom on the PC and were jealous when they tried Marathon on my Mac.
At the time it was a great leap forward for immersiveness in FPS games. It captured a mood of solitude and paranoia that I haven't known in a game since then.
In terms of the single player game - the first Marathon and Marathon Infinity were terrific. I wasn't too crazy about Marathon 2 which was more alien - but it did introduce the dual wielded lever action shotguns.

Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done, had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908, whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defended me, I told him that it was his duty to defend me even by using violence." - Mahatma Ghandi
