In Response To: Holy necropost, batman! (VikingBoyBilly)

: The way I found out Marathon became freeware and the aleph one engine existed
: way back in the day was from a zdoom mod trying to emulate marathon
: terminals, and couldn't help but go looking if marathon was still
: obtainable in THE FAR FUTURE OF 2007 (man I'm feeling old)

I discovered Aleph One in 2012 after I read about the Mac originals in the late 2000s when looking up Halo on the wiki. I'd just missed the version of M1A1 from Shudaki's let's play (now privated) that had all the extra rooms and the new 2nd credits terminal but I got to play a non PID opening version of that build anyway via the ios release, back when the touchscreen controls didn't suck (downside was you couldn't grenade jump).

Before I actually played Marathon, I always assumed it would look like a cross between Mass Effect & Oni and play like Half Life meets Halo. Despite playing Duke Nukem Advance & Duke Nukem 3D first (in that order), it's because of Marathon I got my love of 2.5D engines over the side scrolling 2.5D
