Heh... I still have a QuickTime of the speech Job's gave introducing Halo to the world, saying it would be the G4's killer app as a gaming machine. I can share if anyone wants to see it.
BTW, since I'm a Mac user, that means I don't know much about computers (hence my platform of choice, obviously). So what is this Aleph One thing? How does it work, what does it do?
I dl'ed the three games and the first one works in Classic (I'm using 10.3.7), though some things are a bit messed up. Part 2 is perfect. I can't even get Infinity to run period. Am I supposed to stick the extra files anywhere? I kept them where they are and just put them the main folders in my Applications (OS 9) folder.

If you register EV:Nova, you get EV and EV:Overide conversions for FREE. And it's available for PC.

I remember a time when EBGames (then Electronics Boutique) actually had significant Mac shelf space, sometimes as much as two sections' worth of six shelves each. Then over time that space started to shrink, until one day (probably around 1989 or 1990) I walked into the EB in my local mall, looked around forlornly, and said, "Where's the Mac section?"
"Ha ha," said the clerk, "we don't have a Mac section anymore!" You could tell he'd been getting his jollies out of telling people that all the livelong day. He actually followed it up with, "Why don't you get a PC like everyone else?"
When did Marathon 2 get ported to PC? '96? I remember buying it when it came out for PC because the series got a lot of praise on Mac, but I wasn't particularly impressed with it at the time. Quake had come out shortly before the Marathon 2 PC port, and I was much more enamored with Quake than Marathon.
