- Where did you get this demo? I got one that was 4.4 MB, but I saw a
- Marathon 1 demo listed on another WWW page that said 3.1 MB. The one I
- got doesn't run on my computer :(( It installed OK, but then it didn't
- run. The sound sounded OK, but the screen was mostly black with some
- white text that looked screwed up. It crashed back to DOS when I tried
- clicking on a few places. Where did you get your demo? How big was it?
- Thanks so much!!
