Yes, it can be, but will someone ever do it?

I wish they would...it would be great on PSP!

If anyone out there has the experience to do it please at least try it....

I never played this but it does look pretty sweet. I am sure that the psp could atleast handle the first marathon.

PSP could easily handle them all...

None ever required fast processing power, i mean i could get marathon 2 working on a powerbook 540c with an ~80mhz processor

Marathon needs to be made for the PSP! (it even has lua coding in it * hint *

Of course since most people use windows they are most likeley going to say: "wut is marathon? doom can tap dat!" even though marathon was made a year later and had 3d space along with 3d vision (abillity to look up and down), suppiror gfx to all games at the time.

So its obvious that this would be able to run at full speed on the psp. But how hard would it to port. I wish someone would pick this project up.

And I would offer a good sum of money to the person who would do it.

Looking at the dates it takes place after the events of halo. but it's the MC all right. (mjolnir mkIV recon unit).

I never got past the first level...so I have no ideal about the story. :o

I just know its MC and the theme is a lot like Halo...

Id like to see MS put it on the Xbox Live Marketplace or at least someone make a PSP version so I can beat it...

Hello Guys,
I'm still trying to port it, but I've never done this
before and I'm kind of lost. If anyone with
experience porting games to the PSP could give me
a little advice I would realy apreciate it.

And for the last time the Mjolnir cyborg from
Marathon is not the Chief. Halo is a Marathon
remake and is not in the same universe. Although it
looks like Bungie was originaly planing on tying the
two together.

Sweet, I wish I could help you, but sadly I cannot....

Im confused on the Marathon/Halo mythology...Thats one reason I would like to play the Marathom games...all I know is the main characters look the same and the games have very sinilar themes....

True. But halo /was/ going to be Marathon 4. THen Bungie scubed it because at that time no one knew what marathon was (damn Windows users).

Yeah stay on topic!


I would like to see marathon soon,
I remember the dark hallways were mentioned in every MacAddict magazine!

Or
You know you are a MacAddict when, you start shutting light out of everyroom of your house so you can see the marathon monsters :D
