Marathon (computer game)

Marathon is a computer game from Bungie Software, with a science fiction theme. It belongs to the first-person shooter genre, and was released in 1994.

Marathon was released on the Apple Macintosh computer. It was one of the very earliest first-person shooters to appear on the Macintosh.

Unlike some other similar games of that era (for example, id Software's Doom) Marathon and its sequels, Durandal and Infinity were notable for their intricate plots.
