    Shout out to Aleph One which has the trilogy for all platforms, open source. You can also snag it on iOS for free

    Edit; oh, looks like it’s Aleph One that’s publishing it on steam. Wonder if it’ll be free there as well.

    Sigh… of course THE classic exclusive Mac title is coming out for Windows only.

    I loved the marathon trilogy as a child. One of them was the first game I ever played on a multi monitor setup. Will be great to replay

    Now do Myth:TFL please! (And Soulblighter) These are painful to even barely get working on modern machines.

      Honestly, just use full virtualization.

      Modern hardware is fast enough that anything that’s too old to run directly is (usually) also no so demanding as to be a problem under full virtualization.

        Yeah, I guess I’ll end up doing that. I managed to get some other old games going under various versions of Proton or vanilla Wine but Myth seems really finicky. WinXP VM it is, I guess!

    This is a good game but goddamn are some of the level layouts and puzzles frustrating. Colony ship for sale, cheap anyone?

    What’s the benefit to this release versus the “normal” Aleph One?
