yeah, there is a Windows-compatible version of Marathon. it's called Aleph One. it's pretty complicated to set up, though. you need to install some SDL libraries, Aleph One, and the SDL version of whichever Marathon scenario you want to play. if you don't set up all of the folders just right, it doesn't work at all. but if you're willing to spend some time on it, it does end up working pretty well, once you get it running.
