Depends on which aspects

-Monsters are worse-designed/less diverse than those of Doom II and Blood, but probably roughly comparable to Duke 3D
-Weapons more basic in diversity than most of the contemporaries; they fill most of the fundamentals and are situationally-balanced, but they don't go above and beyond
-Weapon mechanics are the most advanced of its contemporaries; 3D momentum physics, actual aiming, and no hitscan, plays more like a full 3D game aside from the lack of a jump button and the vertical view limits
-Level design is more technically advanced than Doom but less advanced than the Build engine; fun-factor is hit or miss and many describe the levels as maze-y (which some are)
-Story is by far the best and most advanced of its contemporaries

Overall I think it occupied a niche where it could stand ahead of its contemporaries in certain respects, but most people who play them retrospectively struggle, particularly with the level design. The games are free and trivial to set up (just download the latest Aleph One versions) so decide for yourself.

is it true that "frog blast the vent core" is only said by simulacrums because of their failure of mimicking english to blend in with the bobs?

Help I'm starting to enjoy Marathon.
Is this what Stockholm syndrome feels like?

cope

Maranthon 2 is far better despite being 4 years older: good gameplay, interesting art, clever level design, moore interesting AI/player relationship (it actually manipulates you instead of going one dimensional full human hating retarded).
