[QUOTE="Admin, post: 62647, member: 1"] One of Bungie’s defining first-person shooter projects is coming to Steam in the form of Classic Marathon. It’s an unexpected revival that exists thanks to the community-driven development team at Aleph One Developers. The Steam port is said to bring the sci-fi FPS to players without tarnishing its original look and feel while still providing new features like optional widescreen HUD support, 3D filtering/perspective, positional audio, and 60+ fps interpolation.
