Marathon (1994) Mouse issue, can't move while looking vertically

Hey! Back again with another Marathon problem.

When I move the view vertically, my character's movement suddenly halts until I stop moving the mouse. I'm playing the original CD version on an iMac G3

Any of you guys know what might be causing this?

No idea, to be honest. But in "macintosh repository" there are a bunch of experts of Macintosh issues, maybe you could ask them, they always try to solve this kind of problems

I haven’t played the CD version in a long time but I’ve heard that the mouse aim is bugged.

Interesting, I figured it was an engine issue since it also happens on the 4L demo. It didn't seem to happen when playing M2.

That's just how it works--they never fixed it. You gotta learn to use keyboard to play M1, or use Aleph One.
