Now a new generation of gamers can see what the hell it is that we have been raving on about for the previous 10 years. Marathon is truly the game that wouldn't die and Bungie has graciously put that in writing! Feel free to download these legally available copies of one of the finest games ever to grace a computer.

These games require Mac OS 6.0.5 or later and play just fine in OSX Classic. In addition, these games are playable in OSX, Windows or Linux via the open source Aleph One project. You can play Marathon 1 in OSX via M1A1 <--= (This version has the new MML in it to make sure you don't join incompatible games in net games). Windows gamers can play M1A1 too! Marathon 2 and Marathon Infinity can be played in OSX by dropping the Aleph One app into the respective folders and launching Aleph One, then setting the preferences to look at the correct files.
