Before Bungie made Halo, the studio made a Doom rival called Marathon. This classic FPS trilogy bears little resemblance to Bungie’s upcoming extraction shooter reboot that bears the same name, but between 1994 and 1996 the trilogy of Marathon games would provide, in a lot of ways, the baseline for what would go on to become Halo on the Xbox. While freely playable for years thanks to an open-source fan project, the original Classic Marathon is now coming to Steam.
