Marathon / How Have I Never Heard Of This Game?

So yeah kids, uh....how come nobody told me about this one? Today's entry in the History of FPS is astounding to me, partly because of how innovative and forward thinking it is, and partly because I didn't know it existed until the last year. It's a weird one, it's a fun one, it's a really deep rabbit hole, so check the chapters, pop some popcorn, and grab a glass of water kids...it's time to talk Marathon!
