Aleph One is the open source continuation of Bungie's Marathon 2 game engine.

Upstream: http://marathon.sourceforge.net/

And their 1.0 announcement (after 12 years of developing):
http://marathon.sourceforge.net/1.0-release.html

And longer story:
http://marathon.sourceforge.net/rele.../20111201.html


Pakcage 'alephone' is game engine, not usefull without data files, but you can then download any data-pack e.g. Most-popular-community-made-scenarios: http://marathon.sourceforge.net/scenarios.php#more

--
Package 'marathon1' is data-files for Marathon1 from sourceforge. Install it and you will get engine and menu launcher.
(i.e. /opt/alephone/alephone /opt/alephone/marathon1 )
Installed size=164M

--
There are also packages 'marathon2' (195M) and 'marathon3' (167M).
(Waiting for your video responses)
--

These game packs are unmodified from sourceforge svn. Thus now I need your help: Provide working key configurations and list of functions which can't be tuned from preferences.

---
Technically engine is:
Code:
svn co https://marathon.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/marathon marathon -r 4652
wget 
https://aleph-wone.googlecode.com/files/remove_opengl_dependency.diff
./configure --disable-opengl
