Marathon was pretty innovative at the time. The fact that there was any form of plot at all was unique in the action and shooter genres. It was the first major release with free look and being able to aim up and down at all. Plus reloading weapons, dual wielding weapons, weapon models visible on the player in multiplayer, plus network voice chat pretty much all of which have become standard in shooters today.
And whatever this new Marathon is it bears exactly zero relation to the original. Innovative, original, single player experience vs derivitave, cut and paste multiplayer “live service” grift.

My dad had a mac so as kids we were very limited in what we could play. Broderbund products were therefore a staple in our house. Kid Pix, Zoombinis, Prince of Persia, Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego.
