..that unbelievable game MARATHON?!? Mid-90s for the computer, what an awesome game. I'm trying to find a download for it now, once I started thinking about it, I couldn't get it out of my mind. I need to play it. Maybe if anyone has it they can send it to me?

either get winzip, or it should be included with Windows XP. Just double click the .zip file and set a spot for it to 'extract' to. when that is complete, go to the path you set and voila, there are your files.
