I have been toying around with the Marathon Demo with the latest beta
or Executor. I haven't been able to do much becuase I didn't know the
keyboard command for movement, but it seemed to run without crashing.
I only noticed two problems:
Only works in low res mode. High res mode operates, but the
graphis appear in strange colors.
I couldn't pass any dead bodies. I don't know if this is a
probelm with Executor per say; I have never played it on a real
Mac and have never read any docs, just install and play.
