Marathon - Halo's predecessor

Halo 3? Phooey! Sure, Bungie's latest title in greatest series for the Xbox is released tomorrow, but for some perspective, take a look at Marathon: Aleph One — the free, open source engine to Bungie's first achievement, the Marathon Trilogy. Once a Mac-only title, Marathon's source code was released to the public by Bungie in 2000 (shortly before joining the Microsoft empire). The Aleph One project has expanded vastly since then, and is now available for Windows, Mac, Linux & more, has multi-player support over LAN and IP, and comes with plenty of downloadable additions, including the first three Marathon games (1, 2, and Infinity) and dozens of user-created maps, graphics, tools and scenarios. And if you wish, you can still download the original Mac games and map editors for free.
