Marathon was one of the earliest computer games to employ free look and give the player the ability to look up or down.
Marathon also features free look, allowing the player to use the mouse to fire weapons and rotate their character's view. Using assignable keys, they can move forward and backward, turn left or right, sidestep left or right, look up, down or forward, and glance left or right. The player controls the movement of their character primarily through use of the keyboard.
The player assumes the role of a nameless security officer aboard a large colony ship called the Marathon, constructed from Mars' moon Deimos. All surfaces in the game are texture mapped and have dynamic lighting. Gameplay takes place in a real-time, 3D-rendered world of ceilings and floors of various heights and widths, all viewed from a first-person perspective. The game's assets were released by Bungie as freeware in 2005. īungie released the source code of Marathon 2 in 1999, which enabled the development of an open-source enhanced version of the Marathon 2 engine called Aleph One.
In 1996, Bungie released Super Marathon, a port of Marathon and Marathon 2 to the short-lived Apple Bandai Pippin video game console. Marathon is the first game in a series of three games collectively known as the Marathon Trilogy, which also includes its two sequels, Marathon 2: Durandal and Marathon Infinity, released in 19 respectively. The game takes place several centuries into the future in outer space and sets the player as a security officer attempting to stop an alien invasion aboard a colony ship named the Marathon. Marathon is a first-person shooter video game developed and published by Bungie, and released in December 1994 for the Apple Macintosh.
