Bungie's Marathon and Pathways into darkness should be released to the Nintendo DS. The Nintendo DS has the capabilities to run Marathon and Pathways into Darkness, and will soon be the most powerful handheld for multiplayer on the market. How could any warm-blooded Marathon fan let the multiplaying masses go without this great classic? Despite the fact that Bungie is owned by Microsoft, since there is no handheld version of Microsoft's Xbox™, there would be no competition. And even so, it would not be without precedence considering Halo for Mac. The game would likely be immensely popular, since the DS has a relatively good control set for First Person Shooter games. The Marathoners who lost interest the first time around probably stopped because they did not have access to a Mac network. This would not be an issue with the DS, as it is extremely portable, and connects to other DS's wirelessly. You would just need to take your DS to your friends house, and be in the same BUILDING to play each other. Multiplayer maps, downloaded from the internet (or possibly even made with a built-in editor), could be saved into the DS's memory and provide endless possibilities for multiplayers. Please consider releasing these classics to a new platform with many players. Take the time to sign this petition to let Bungie know this is a good idea.

    • This is a great Idea. I've been thinking about something like this for a long time. Could it be possible to include the map editor too? That would increase the life further. Maybe even a graphic editor like Chu Chu Rocket. Controls could be a control pad for looking and the ab yz buttons for strafe and moving direction. The select button could troggle run or map, and the touch screen could be map or use. To change weapon maybe tapping the interface part of the screen in direction to change weapons. R and L could be fire and alt fire too. I hope it becomes a reality. Games like Sim City 2000 have been ported to GBA so I don't see why other classic games cannot be ported.

    • This is brillant. The DS is perfect for Marathon! I will buy a DS just so I can play wireless Marathon with it.

    • My macintosh recently crashed and I'm saving up for one so I can once again relive the Marathon experience. If it came out for DS I would immediately switch the computer funds to that.

    • The Marathon series is truly the greatest computer series in the past twenty years and would be an incredible series of titles on the DS.
