@coolboymew @takao @shpuld Apparently, there is a port of Marathon, but you are better off playing Aleph One.
@coolboymew @takao @shpuld I heard most of the software on that thing were just multimedia centers that you would find on the CD-i and the only actual games were Marathon and some Power Rangers game. But given that it is really just a consolized Mac, I'm surprised there isn't an active homebrew scene on it.
@coolboymew @takao @shpuld Apparently, it actually did ok in Japan, but I guess it's because it also acted as an easy to use computer that plugs directly into a TV and Japanese tend to prefer that setup over traditional PCs.
I also heard that it couldn't live to its full potential as it was one of the first things Steve Jobs axed when he returned to Apple. Steve Jobs clearly hated video games and never wanted Apple to be associated with it outside of casual gaming.
@coolboymew @takao @shpuld Yeah. Apple could've ditched the gaming aspect (or made it secondary) and instead market it as a multimedia PC that is even easier to use than the Mac. Back in the 90s it would've been perfect for internet browsing, shopping, watching movies, etc.
