Sounds like an example of releasing a good product on a relatively unpopular machine.

  Marathon was better on paper, but as far as visceral gameplay experiences go it lagged behind Doom quite a bit

    Yeah, I had heard of Marathon but never watched any gameplay. Watched some stuff on YouTube and it's not nearly as entertaining as Doom, imo.

    Despite it having more or less the same graphics tech it's a very different game. It's slower paced, more atmospheric, and with more story. The story in doom was a single page of text after beating each episode. Marathon had in-game computer terminals where they drip fed the story of the Marathon and its AI that was going "rampant" (interestingly Microsoft borrowed that idea for Halo 4, the first one that Bungie didn't create).
