Affiliated Sites

House of Luck Companion : A weblog for the House of Luck

The Gray Incident : Ryoko's scenario (and the former location of the House of Luck)

Treellama : The home site of our loving host and Aleph One developer, Treellama (a.k.a. Wolfy)

General Sites

Fileball : Main map, scenario, etc. repository for Marathon-related material. Full of all kinds of stuff. If you didn't get it from my site, you probably got it from Fileball.

Aleph One : The no-nonsense interface for getting and dealing with Aleph One, the modern source port of the Marathon 2 engine. (But, honestly, how could you not have known that?)

SBO (Source.Bungie.Org) : Another Aleph One Site. Less direct, with more information. Also has news, usually mirrored from Fileball. A good place to get a XML feed to Fileball news.

Marathon Story Forums : A bunch of old fogies talking about Marathon. Despite its somewhat primitive interface, it's simple, fast, and still one of the biggest Marathon sites around.

The Pfhorums : The other large Marathon message board, mostly filled with young, angsty teens. Boon or bane? You decide!

Forge House : Another small Marathon site, Forge House is particularly well-known for its maps. Check them out.

Traxus Marathon Wiki : This is the Wiki equivalent of the Story Forums. A lot of weird stuff about the story, etc. Not for technical information.

AlephWiki : The official Wiki of Aleph One. Contains varius entries, from Preferences settings to installation. The de facto manual for Aleph One.

Bungie Archives : An older repository similar to Fileball. Go here next if you can't find it on aforementioned site. The maps on here go way back. Also a good place to get utilities.

The BattleCat's Litterbox : That guy who runs Fileball? He has a site. Full of all kinds of craziness.

Marathon Hyperarchive Northwest : Like the Bungie Archives. The last resort if you're looking for something really old.

Marathon Newsgroup : Also really old: alt.games.marathon is the Usenet group for Marathon. You can find some truly ancient information here.

Other Games

Doomworld : A great site for the classic FPS, Doom.

Globulation 2 : A very interesting free RTS game that focuses on intelligent task automation.

Battle for Wesnoth : Open-source turn-based fantasy game.
