Marathon was never going to lure me away from id's stuff, but I really enjoyed playing it on a friend's Mac back in the '90s. I wouldn't mind revisiting this one as an SDL port.
I'm familiar with Terada; I haven't read his novels, but he wrote and co-wrote some of the best episodes and features of Dirty Pair and Kimagure Orange Road
Policenauts is enduringly impressive; had it been marketed a decade later, somebody like Miike or Tsukamoto would've helmed an adapted feature. I would've been rankled by all that groping if it weren't so funny.
I quite like Patchwork, which I read with an ex about a score ago. Jackson has a knack for corporeal metaphor and multifarious pastiche, and the nods to Oates, et al. are impressively subtle. This is a good example of art that spans boundaries; I can't abide the ethos, broader praxes, and politics of Jackson or her ex-husband, but her work's excellence and trenchancy transcends those.
