Last year, the Aleph One team asked me to create a trailer for the upcoming Steam release of Classic Marathon, a retro FPS from Bungie. This trailer features clips from solo and multiplayer, as well as the song “Splash“ from the original Marathon soundtrack. I figured I’d throw the trailer up here since I’ve noticed it being posted by a couple other people.

From Wikipedia:
The Marathon Trilogy is a science fiction first-person shooter video game series from Bungie, originally released for Mac OS. The name Marathon is derived from the giant interstellar colony ship that provides the setting for the first game; the ship is constructed out of what used to be the Martian satellite Deimos. The three games in the series — Marathon (1994), Marathon 2: Durandal (1995), and Marathon Infinity (1996) — are widely regarded as spiritual predecessors of Bungie’s Halo series.
In 2005, Bungie authorized the release of the full original Mac OS trilogy for free distribution online, which combined with Aleph One and the efforts of the fan community, now allows the entire trilogy to be played for free on any of Aleph One’s supported platforms (Mac OS, Linux and Windows) []. Aleph One features an online matchmaking server [], allowing for much easier organization of Internet games than joining directly by IP address as had previously been required.
