Re: [M-dev] Aleph One 1.0

[Brandon S. <st...@ml...>]

  This is awesome to hear. I have been on this mailing list since around 
2005 I think, and have every email going back to 2007 on this machine.

Its certainly been a long trip!

Really looking forward to replaying through them as they were 
originally. Its such a hassle to pull out my old Performa to play the 
originals :P

Thanks for all the years of work you guys have put in. You guys deserve 
huge props for keeping this near 17 year old game alive.

Now I need to go get some downloads started :)

See yah star side...

Nearly 12 years since Bungie released the source code for Marathon 2, it's finally feature-complete with the original engine and polished enough to deserve the 1.0 label. New features include full Marathon 2 and Infinity film support, including drag-and-drop; numerous improvements to the interface; OpenGL (Shader) fixes; new Lua features, and of course, bug fixes.

Marathon has been completely updated to make it as true to the original as possible in the engine in its current state, removing M1A1's weird opening, extra secret levels, and changes to puzzles; and emulating the behavior of Marathon's triggered battles are closely as we can in Aleph One. Marathon 2 includes the full HD graphics upgrades featured in the Xbox LIVE Arcade game Marathon: Durandal, which Bungie and Freeverse have generously allowed us to distribute.  Marathon Infinity includes goran's HD wall textures and landscapes, and the XBLA weapons graphics.
