Decimate >-)

Mr. Schenk in the Read Me states he is 14. We believe it due to several factors, language is one. PG13 for sure! But watch this guy, he is working towards being a Marathon Map Maker Extrodinnaire! This is basically a "Kill all the Aliens" mission with some clever twists. Barry apparently is the AI (Barry?) and gives you clear directions. This is a large scenario with every texture, hallway, lighting, platform, large space, small area . . . you've ever seen in a Marathon game beautifully executed. Shapes patch included. It's terrific! Clever! Playable, flows, progresses.

Decon!

Originally a Map Contest entry (eons ago! We'll get back to you Chris!). Read Me uses term: 'Procrastination proliferating hooligans' aka Bungie. Wha? Bungie/Marathon (ab)users are procrastinators? Say What? Pretty good map, kids. Spectacularly large, complex, rectangle which could support as many as 8+ players, and also (definitely!) solo play. Would seem best suited for tag. Many, many, hidey holes, vast assortment of doors, passageways, stairways, hallways, you name it. 3x available, all ammo & every stripe alien working against you.

Deep Forest v1.4.6

A large arena speckled with "trees"... large platforms that provide a sniping canopy. Teleporters bring you up, and water cannons on the ground facilitate fast movement (escape or ambush). A few glitches (bouncing polys, solid transparent walls, that sort of thing), but nothing critical. Udate fixes most (all?) of the glitches. Still minimal sounds... more than there was, though.

Deeper In

Big. Really big. Lots of hallways, some dark, some not... a few large rooms to blast people in. (Most of the hallways are big enough for blasting, so they're not completely necessary, but...) Doors and elevators are quite slow, so don't count on a fast escape if you run out of ammo...

Delphi Interdiction

Good Job! Short but Sweet, you'll use that Map Key quite a bit. Watch out for Kill Area, that damn ceiling you know. Overall this is pretty cool. When you finally reach AI's core and shut him down terminal ends with job well done, etc., and then says, "Sleep Well". No transport to game screen, but be satisfied, you're done. If you accidentally shoot one of the cores, well you'll see . . . the abundance of Bob's (kill 'em) sometimes freezes your screen. This scenario is a challenge in many ways but overall, we liked it!

Delta Scenario

Bring up Map and title shows "Flip Da Switch", which is basically it. Articulate terms, 11 levels, fast transports. Chips are easy to find but this player may have forgotten one, not that it probably mattered. Level 6, "Fight the Power" ended up dead end. No way back, no way ahead. Da Door is closed. All following levels are Net Play. Basic good ideas here but don't you just hate those dead ends? Next level is Net so ok. We really tried but to no avail. Maybe you can beat it! No thrill in a solo scenario to transport to a Net level anyway.

Deus Ex Machina

A three level game with complex switch placement & areas where, if you don't finish the task while there, you may get stuck. Ms. Clapp has given this scenario Rambo Weapons, yummy! Some interesting twists and turns here, not too easy to figure this puzzle but the prime target is "Big Bad Blue Bob". The Read Me's a gas.

Don't Forget Your Meclizine

One level, you go through it a couple of times. Be sure to save when you can, crashes are not uncommon. Mostly, it's just go through and kill everything... there's plenty of ammo, so don't worry about running out. Not a lot to say about it, unfortunately.

Don't Make Me Spank You

Look's easy, isn't. This is an exercise in running around but in a productive manner. Practice your timing for sure. And use your head.

Downstream1

Right idea, nice clean little Map. Could be more thought-out, some excitement maybe. Handsome effort by Mr. Coe.

El Lobo Feroce

One level, Switch City! Pretty good layout, a lot of running around, decent puzzle here. Could stand better direction for the player, what final result are we looking for? But a good run for your money.

Exercise in Perversity

A small, dark, seriously 5D map. I'm not kidding... the whole thing is repeated several times. Don't play this unless you're good at spinning around... folks will come from behind pillars on a regular basis. Carnage rates will be horrendously high, even with the invincibilities... there are fusion pistols everywhere.

Extermination

The Map Maker here is co-author on Adexcoriatarium and this is published as a solo effort. Adex was tuff, a pretty good puzzle. With this scenario you basically get the same game. Might have a bit more flow to it, a little different design in some areas. Seven levels with the 7th a Net Level & very handsomely done too. These two scenarios, Adex & Exterminate, are very good for play, you won't finish in a half hour, unless you're a better man than I am Gunga Din! Worth the download, definitely!

Farchie's Revenge

A solo level for your Infinity pleasure . . . what a terrific Map by Mr. Kells! This was FUN! Very handsome design, a lot of switches and the Pattern Buffer is hidden; best advice, tab away. Worthy of your attention, try it, you'll like it.

Figure ƒ

Small map but well laid out. Recommended for two players (because that's the number of computers author has access to). Plenty of goodies to re-up your health. Sniper slots, stairs. Might just be really fast & furious! Oh, Arend is 3rd place winner of the Frog Blast the Vent Core contest & is awaiting his "bucket o' guts" prize...

Fletch

Large rooms, linked by doors that look like walls... vertical travel is facilitated by sewage columns. The physics model is pretty heavily weighted to the carnage end of things. (Be careful with the grenades, and with the second trigger on the fusion pistol.) I especially liked the second trigger on the alien weapon.

For Ever and Ever v1.1

Comes with a bizarre readme that covers most of the other stuff this author has done, and gives one line to this map. The map itself is a pair of circular arenas, overlain in 5D space. They're different enough in looks that you shouldn't get too confused...
