| Quote: | December 1, 2011 - The Aleph One development community is thrilled to release version 1.0 of the Aleph One game engine. Since the release of the Marathon 2 source code, the team has worked diligently to deliver a cross platform game engine capable of bringing the classic Marathon games, as well as fan-made modifications to the modern Mac, Windows PC and Linux platforms.
Aleph One, an open source project, enhances Bungie's original Marathon games with modern OpenGL shader support, Internet co-op and multiplayer, modern mouse-look and gamepad support and plugin support for modifications.
To celebrate the 12 year development of Aleph One, the original Marathon games have been upgraded to take advantage of the new engine features.
- Marathon has been updated with a modern HUD, high resolution graphics as well as extensive changes to the scenario to create the most authentic Marathon experience since 1994.
- Marathon 2: Durandal has been updated with the high resolution graphics previously only available for the Xbox LIVE Arcade game.
- Marathon Infinity has been updated with high resolution graphics. |
Free download here: http://marathon.sourceforge.net/
They were already available for free before but now they have improved graphics and come with easy to use installers. edit: actually there are no installers, just the archives that you extract somewhere and play!

Sounds nice, hopefully OpenGL won't see too many issues due to AMD drivers being a bit "unstable" but I'll see once it's downloaded. 
EDIT: I forgot how games like Doom, Blood, Wolfenstein, Strife, Arena, Daggerfall, Cyclones and so on used to keep me a bit shaken, this is going to be fun. 
(EDIT: Hexen, Heretic, Mage Slayer, TNP, Redneck Rampage and a lot more. )

Marathon ONE was not released for DOS. Marathon TWO was LATER ported to Windows, but it was on the Mac for a while first, exclusively, and Marathon 3 was not released outside of Mac OS. The wiki is not "wrong"
