however, The best way to gain gaming cultureIt is about playing classics of the past as much as possible to understand where today’s masterpieces come from. Speaking of developers who have learned over the years to make themselves known and loved (sometimes hated) through the epics that define them now, one comes to mind: History of Bungie Studios. A well-known software house, known mostly for the work done on it. Aura and destiny, In the mid-nineties, he developed a trilogy of FPS games that had some success but quickly gave way to something else.
However, today it is possible to recover the three chapters of that little pearl that was free. Marathon.
The forgotten FPS game is back!
Bungie, as a software house, was rich career, Sure, it has its ups and downs, but ultimately, we owe it to them to evolve. Some of the first-person shooter (FPS) titles that defined the world of narrative shooters are: Where gameplay and story blend in complex and fascinating ways. After developing several chapters of the Halo series, including one of the most appreciated chapters: Hala: Arrival And after two titles amount Which, although it has had its ups and downs, is still known today as a game of immense value that many still refer to, it is time to rediscover a little Benji’s Origins.
To do this, You won’t have to spend a single euro.All you need is a computer and a Steam account and you can access everything completely free of charge.The entire marathon trilogya complex FPS series developed by Bungie between 1994 and 1996. However, the version available on Steam will not be exactly the version developed by Bungie. It is actually a remaster with Bungie’s blessing, and executed by the Aleph-One team, who tried to bring the original experience back to life, thanks to Homemade enginebased on the Marathon 2 source code.

This is an additional reason to bring back a work from the past, capable of immersing the player not only in a complex world, consisting of complex names and many explosions, but also in a complex world. A piece of history Which was exposed to oblivion forever.
