Marathon Infinity is the third game in the
Marathon Trilogy of
science fiction first-person shooter computer games from
Bungie Software. The game was released on October 15, 1996 and included more
levels than its predecessor
Marathon 2. These were larger, and formed part of a more intricate plot that spanned both space and time.
Marathon Infinity, unlike
Marathon 2, was originally released only for the
Apple Macintosh. However, Bungie released the source for Marathon 2 in 1999, allowing the development of the open-source
Aleph One engine. In 2005, Bungie released the entire trilogy to the public as freeware, allowing the games to be freely downloaded. Finally, in 2011, Bungie released the source code for Marathon Infinity itself.
