I remember I showed it to my 80-something grandmother when Marathon first came out, on the ridicuously-overpowered computer used by the department IT guy who shared an office with my mom. My grandma said, "It's beyond my ken." And she was an amazing person - taught high school math to disadvantaged urban kids (in the city - she commuted), and this was just a moment where I could see someone experiencing a whole new reality, and rejecting it for the effort it would take to accept it. And that's not always a bad thing. My grandmother had no real reason to be familiar with what would become a huge industry and culture. But it was eye-opening to see that rejection happening.
