Until I saw the second wallpaper, I thought "Cool, Elric!" ..but, alas.

Anyway, I like either #1 or #2, but ever the practical one, I feel that #1 makes it easier to see your icons.

Psst...Strider...All of your icons are on the wrong side of the screen!

I like #2 the best...The icons are visible, but the whole package has a better appeal...

I like #1

Wouldn't it be the upper one? In previous MacOS's the boot drive would always be on the top. You're booted into OSX in the pic, so the OS9 drive would be the lower one.

I know "Durandel" was the evil AI, but I can't remember who "Tyco" was... was it the ship? The lower icon also belongs to the first Marathon.

Is there a version of the game that runs on OSX? I still have the originals around, but it would be cool not to have to play them in classic.

Correct, being the smart ass that I am, I was hoping someone familar with the Marathon series would make the connection between the names and the systems contained on the corrisponding harddrives.

Tyco was one of the three AIs on the Marathon, along with Durandal and Leela. He was incharge of the sciences, while Durandal was punished by being put in charge of the doors...I wouldn't exactly call Durandal evil, insane and rampant yes, evil no. Tyco went evil and insane after being captured by the Pfhor (see Marathon 2).

There is a OS X version out there called Marathon Aleph One. You sould be able to do a google search for it or find some information on it at www.insidemacgames.com or www.macgamefiles.com.

Strider:

Try Krapplet's Paper; it's a bit of freeware that changes your wallpaper automatically. You can cycle through your three nominations....

Bow down to me for I am root.(Linux)

Currently using an enlightenment/fluxbox combo. Fluxbox for when I really need the extra 1% of my proc, enlightenment for when I want pretty colors.

When I upgraded from DR-DOS to Windows for Workgroups I hated the coloured desktop. Since then it always were black.
Even when "active" desktops were invented (what a crap).

Very cute Scarab.

Well, Scarab, you got me wanting to post my current desktop. One of the best games I've ever played:

Vagarant Story

(And yes Z, I know my icons are on the wrong side....I'm just visually dyslexic

)
