My friend, you should try Aleph One.

It's amazing you can run this on any Mac still with https://alephone.lhowon.org/

You can play the original Marathon(s) on Mac, Windows, and Linux now thanks to Aleph One [0]. There's also new scenarios for the engine still being released, like Apotheosis X which came out last year [1].

If you’re reading this then go play the original Marathon trilogy by Bungie. One of the best boomer shooters out there with a fantastic sci-fi story!

Welcome! If you want to get a head start, check out https://alephone.lhowon.org

Here is a direct link to the fork’s releases page.

Marathon. Bungie doesn't sell the game anymore, but they did upload it to the internet. I linked to Aleph One Sourceport instead though since the original doesn't work on Windows natively.

The originals are free and work on mac, pc and linux. If you have an xbox there is one there too. https://alephone.lhowon.org/

Jak and Daxter

But now there's NSA's Ghidra which has accelerated decompilations/reverse engineering a ton, it means that within a few years any active community can fully reverse engineer into human readable code and make major changes, it's why now there's a Driver 2 PC port and a Jak & Daxter PC port with 2 and 3 being in the works despite these games having basically no community before it, Nintendo games have a bigger modding community and a lot of games are on the way to being fully decompiled (bonus in that some games share a lot of stuff, so as one project completes it also makes it so that multiple games also advance faster
