Timeline

Marathon Film Installer 1.0a5

Will allow you to replace the films built in to Marathon 1 or 2 (the ones that show if you leave the main screen up too long) with your own. Update adds compatibility with Infinity.

Mission: Improbable

A sequel to Operation: Exaggeration. 12 levels (or so... a couple don't really count, in terms of gameplay). This one's a winner. It's not the most visually stunning, or the hardest... but the AIs are very funny, the physics are brilliant, and the tributes are really, really well done. Don't miss this map-it'll give you ideas for your own maps. (And the sense of humor shown in the storyline is really refreshing, after all the 'save the universe'-type plots.)

Nokrah Torture Chamber

A KOH level with a big central hill, and waterfilled arms around it... you can come out low, or you can come out high. Problem is, the hill is big enough that it ain't like shooting fish in a barrel...

"Much Better, Thank You" 1.8

A pretty straightforward solo level. Not horribly difficult, unless you try to face the jug at the beginning instead of the end. Very bright... and there's one pretty cool room, watch for the hunters.

BOB's Alien Ship

Two levels. One is a conversion of Bob World HQ (no credit to Mark Conahan, the original creator), using the alien textureset, and the other is a small insanely busy arena with a raised cross in the center.

BOBlienation Trilogy

A three level scenario in which you're helping a mining colony's AI fend off an attack from Explodabobs. Generally, I don't like Explodabobs, but this was a playable scenario. The biggest problem was a complete lack of save terms-you have to play the entire thing in one sitting. (Luckily, it's not too big.)

Everybody In The Pool

An arena level with a large pool in the center. Half of the bottom rises and falls slowly, making a good high spot (or missile block). Teleporters speed up end-to-end travel, and light switches control who's visible and who isn't...

CrossFire

A solo level with no save term. You'll find yourself doing it several times, as you run into each new trap... and parts can be pretty repetitive, but it's a fun half-hour or so. Fun terms.

Detention Center

A sequel to Lunar Fort. Very well-done, and quite playable... it's three levels, but only the second one counts, in terms of gameplay. Worth the download, for sure...

Hide

A pretty cool small level designed for two players. You face each other across a lava moat. Both have a large wall to hide behind, but your opponent can raise yours with a well-placed projectile, leaving you defenseless... and for those who believe the best defense is a good offense, you can build a bridge across the moat (although it's not necessary-you can simply run across, using the alcoves on the side).
