Marathon, via Aleph One, has been free for at least a two decades at this point, hasn’t it? Bungie open sourced it before 2000 and Aleph has been a thing since at least 2004, I think.
Also, wow I’m old…
This is a game that has an amazingly over-developed lore and some truly crazy, House of Leaves-style level design.
I loved these games back in the day.
My memory might be a bit fuzzy, but I seem to recall an old Easter egg or mod or something that allowed you to fire NPCs out of an RPG—it was about the funniest thing I had experienced in a video game up to that point.
I don’t recall this exactly, but I do remember:
- Rocket-jumping, where you can point the rocket-launcher at your feet and, if you survive the back-splash, get places you normally couldn’t
- The exploding BOBs could be backsplashed to places (“Frog blast the vent core!”) to amusing effect.
