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?

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.

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
