What is a .SCEA file?

.SCEA is a Marathon (Aleph One) file (Games). Analyser identifies a .SCEA file and reads the metadata in its header, right in your browser.

Did you know
  • Aleph One can load a complete scenario - the maps, shapes, sounds and physics of a Marathon campaign - as a set of data files.
  • Bungie released the whole Marathon trilogy as free downloads, so anyone can play the games through Aleph One today.
  • Marathon was Bungie's breakthrough sci-fi shooter, first released for the Mac in 1994, with a story-rich design ahead of its time.
What Analyser reads
Identify Marathon (Bungie's 1994 FPS trilogy) and Aleph One data files - the open-source engine that runs Classic Marathon, Marathon 2 and Infinity on Steam: scenario maps (.scen / .sceA), physics models (.phys / .phyA), shapes/sprite collections (.shps / .ShPa), sound collections (.sndz / .sndA), recorded-game films (.filA), interface images (.imgA) and MML config XML (.mml). Reads the big-endian wad header version and the embedded internal name from each.
Depth of analysis
.SCEA is an identification-grade format: Analyser recognises it from its bytes and decodes the header metadata it carries, rather than opening it in a full viewer. Formats that do get a full viewer are marked "Full" on the formats page.
Open a .SCEA file
Drag a .SCEA file onto the Analyser home page (or tap to pick one). It is identified entirely in your browser - nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and it works offline once installed.
