This CD image contains the classic First Person Shooter 'Marathon' created by Bungie software, also included are the two sequel games 'Marathon 2: Durandal', and 'Marathon: Infinity'. Many of the newer gaming generation will know Bungie Software for their later game HALO for the X-Box, all the older gamers will know that here's where HALO's origins started.
Bero's port of Aleph One to the Dreamcast is used so please note that you need a DC keyboard to play the games (you'll also need a controller to navigate the CD menu). Sadly, Bero's port was left at an early stage without VMU save support, but it still stands as a good example of the Dreamcast being a great platform for classic game engine ports. Enjoy some free FPS action from DC Evolution: http://www.dcevolution.net/goto.php?id=64 |

You can set up the button config for your likes - try 'Preferences' 
@ Le Spank: Note that you'll need a DC controller in controller port 2 to browse the main menu and onscreen info and once you've started a game you'll need a keyboard in controller port 1 to play. I thought I should add that though the VMU isn't supported, saving itself works: If you got killed, you'll be taken back to the most recent point where you saved the game. However, once you turned off the DC, your save will be deleted. |

Hm, regarding the soft-reset: It seems more like a bug but it works, pressing F2 three times will reset the DC. I've yet to figure out myself how to go back to the menu once you've started a game... | |||

| yeah i found that one out as well. some of the F keys zoom the screen in or out and as you said one of them makes it reset. very strange. now i just need to find a pause menu!! | ||||
