#Marathon as ZERO chance being a paid product.

My expectation? They're going to sell it a $30, it's going to get not-much people at launch, and then it's going to die forever once Grand Theft Auto VI launches.

🕶️ An FPS view of Heretic at the start of the game (26 seconds of play), as the player (me) battles Gargoyles in a dark room leading to a flooded square (on the right of the screen). One of the special features of the DSDA-Doom engine is its ability to display the map as a transparent overlay in the top left-hand corner of the screen.

📚️ DSDA-Doom is a libre, multi-platform engine (and successor of PrBoom+, whose development has been halted) compatible with Doom 1 & 2, TNT Evolution, Heretic, Hexen, Freedoom 1 & 2 (does not yet support Blasphemer), emphasizing on functionalities while preserving compatibility. It offers support for OpenGL, MIDI synthesizers, MBF21 (mod compatibility standard), UDMF (map standard), MAPINFO (declarative standard in WAD files), MUSINFO, Ogg and MP3 formats, high-resolution textures and sprites, up/down view, game speed change, tracking camera, treadmills, silent teleporters, friendly monsters (dogs), friction effects, and many improvements (on Heads up, maps, menus, controls, . ..). A great engine for fine-tuning parameters, delivered with Doom Shareware for immediate testing.

🕶️ A magnificent FPS view of a dimly lit, foggy room, lightly illuminated by red lighting that appears to come from the ceiling behind the viewer, enhanced by 2 skylights coming from the ceiling in the background. The overall effect is unreal and misty.

📚️ Unreal is a free (since November 2024, thanks to Epic Games) single-player / multi-player science fiction FPS (1998) in which the player is prisoner 849 whose prison transport ship crashes on the planet Na Pali, home of the Nali, a primitive race of 4-armed humanoids - slaves of the Skaarj, a race of brutal, technologically advanced reptilian humanoids who exploit them for the energy-rich Tarydium ore. The player manages to escape from the ship, escaping the massacre of his fellow members by the Skaarj...
OldUnreal is a set of patches (binaries, libraries & some Linux files), to be copied in the root directory of the old Windows version, allowing to make this old game multi-platform and again compatible with modern hardware.
