Long before Halo was the cat’s pyjamas on XBox, gaming mavens Bungie were known as one of the few major companies which catered specifically for the Mac market. With a string of hits to their name, they were most fondly remembered for the ground-breaking FPS Marathon. They invented rocket jumping, that’s how awesome they are.
Marathon has been available free for the Mac for years, but has only just had a port to iOS. Now available as a free download for the iPad, the retooled FPS has had its controls adjusted for the tablet, and has all 27 levels intact. There are also two in-app purchases: an HD texture pack for $3.99, and for $0.99 there’s “Master Chief Mode”, which gives you the ability to start any level, invulnerability, all weapons and infinite ammo.
If you’ve never played this classic, here’s a great chance to get on board, and find one of the deepest and most engrossing plots you’ll see in an FPS.
Now, when do we see Marathon 2 and some dual combat shotgun action?
