Who Fears the Marine

We do! It's those crazy Bob's and they are in your face; you enter scenario & aargh, greeted by a contingent of those guys. And a few Pfhor just for the hellavit. Thank goodness for triple strength shield rechargers, you'll need them. Solo play works & with opponents you should have a rollicking good time! No read me, no frills but a well laid out, pretty good size, map. Try it!

Pfhor Water Works v1.2

A small level, inspired by Mars Needs Women. Serious attention to lighting, sounds, and architecture... Level centerpiece is a slick little bridge (seems to be based in design on the M1 Marathon Bridge Map, but that could just be coincidence). This one's fun. 1.1 Update tweaks a bad texture, adds an eighth starting point. 1.2 update adds more ammo/weapons, tweaks gameplay parameters for improved flow.

AGM 1.1

A cute tip 'o the hat to the alt.games.marathon newsgroup. The message will become clear by the time you finish... just check your map view. There ain't no savin', so fight good. (The beginning's the trickiest part, I think...)

Angervation

A room full of bouncing platforms-works like the Moon Walk at a carnival. No squishing platforms, so if you die, it's because someone killed you, or because you misjudged the platform in front of you, not because you were standing in the wrong place. A path around the outside gives you some stable ground to breathe on if you get seasick.

Aqua Arena

Arena is correct term but, oh so much more. This is a very spacious & complicated layout with pathways, off shoot areas, water areas, secret things, per the author, and King of the Hill play. Has been tested primarily with two players, recommends 8 easily. Mr. Ogle states he was looking to build a simple design. Don't think so! Aliens of every stripe so solo players don't fall into boredom.

Armadillo Casserole II

Straightforward Arena play, could probably handle three players, two would be better as this is a very small area. Plats, sniper ledges, water medium you can break through.

Automatic

Another complex map with switches, lava medium in center of Arena & various back of the Arena pathways. A very tricky access to the 2x recharger, better move fast, but then you will be anyway! Sniper slots, recommended for 4 players, best for tag.

Aye Am Not Feeling Sicur

Hard to believe this is just 20K as it is a spacious tri-area playing field with secrets, switches & a true blue King of the Hill layout. Tested with two players but designed for eight, which makes more sense as two would certainly get lost. Terrific ideas of space views/walkways that extend, lava mediums, and some nasty Flick'ta thrown in. Like this a lot. Wouldn't get too bored exploring solo either.

Blender v1.2+

This is a terrific map for solo and Arena play, up to 4 players, maybe more as it's spacious. Devlins everywhere.

BOB-Tempus Irae

Nine maps in all from TI.1 - TI.9; 20K up to 28K, includes two Physics models to give you that extra BLOOD! Pretty funny. TI textures are always handsome & here you get an assortment of arenas/squares/circles/King of the Hill, etc. Pretty cramped, very small spaces, with a few aliens thrown in just so you can test the Physics files. Would be pretty fast & short we believe, but you be the judge. This is a Marathon fan from Germany which gives your death scream a slight accent when you pass away.

Capture the Skull

Recommends at least four players, prefers eight. Author says to form Teams & capture the ball. Definitely a playing field setup with some very annoying aliens and a few radical Bobs fighting among themselves, another distraction. Pretty good. Team with most time with the ball wins. Not an actual ball, however. Only complaint, no rechargers/life canisters. So you end up with fast & furious. Cool!

DAnSe macabRE

Four Squares connected up & down by stairwells loaded with ammo. Secret switch floods area but you can fire underwater if you do so at point blank range. Grenade throwing Flick'ta, few troopers for solo play. Tag would be the action here. Too big on the myriad stairs, you will be running a lot. Should hold at the very least 4-6 opponents.

Dead by Dawn

Six cmd/cntrl levels. Number one: 30.10.72; a rectangle with the cleverest use of elevators, aka crushers, I've seen in a long time! 2x hard to take the time to reach, perimeter ledge, jump off elevators quick! This is so fast it will make your head spin; play tag, you or your opponent are bound to have a serious mishap! May support KOTH, author likes 2-4 players, tested on two. There is a hidey hole that could be considered the Hill as it's open on two sides. Number Two: Hanger; rectangle, large central raised area for KOTH & smaller connected rectangles for getting around.

Death Echo

Very large, complex map. Read Me has Spoiler/type info with total map layout. KOTH area, basement, ledges, sewage paths, stairs. Armory, Tower, elevators, etc. Supports Total Carnage, 6-8 players. No rechargers, a few Bob's. Moves fast but really spread out. Looks good, however, with nice attention to detail.
