The games are note worthy for several reasons, among these that beyond simply being a run-and-shoot game they contain a coherent story, told in the form of dispatches from computer terminals you encounter while playing. And its a pretty good story.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSet in the year 2794, the game places the player as a security officer dispatched to respond to a distress signal sent from the enormous human colony ship called the Marathon, orbiting the newly colonized planet Tau Ceti IV. Throughout the game, the player defends the ship and its crew and colonists from a race of alien slavers called the Pfhor. As he fights, he witnesses interactions between the three shipboard artificial intelligences: Leela, Durandal, and Tycho. From these interactions he discovers that all is not as it seems aboard the Marathon.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the first part of the game, the player follows orders from the ship operations AI, Leela. After executing a series of defensive actions, contact between the Marathon and the human colony is lost. It is revealed that Durandal, another AI onboard the Marathon, has gone rampant and his behavior on the ship begins causing danger to the crew members. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDisabling Leela, Durandal steals the security officer and uses him to free a race of enslaved, cybernetic organisms called the S'pht from their Pfhor masters. With the S'pht in revolt and allied with Durandal, the Pfhor lose control of their ship and are defeated.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere is some speculation that the story of Marathon may have been loosely based on that of the science fiction novel Marathon by David Alexander Smith. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIncludes Marathon 1, Warcraft: Orcs \u0026amp; Humans, A-10 Attack!
