Timeline

Niagarena Falls

A very large net level that has some neat tricks to it. A couple of water chutes (cannons), a couple of transporters and some very deep and big water areas. Just like the title suggests. No Flechette, the author did this on purpose so the level would play in Marathon 2 as well. You will have to go swimming to get the guns you need, and ammo.

Potato Ball

A good idea that seems to be the thing to do right now. A small arena complete with a audience (aliens) in the bleachers and with 2 blue s'pht as ticket takers. Sounds interesting, huh?? Those Potatoanus' are the balls and you job is to blast it into the opposing goal. You start in the locker area right next to the showers, then you progress by the concession stand and then into the arena. Pretty fun if this is your type of Marathon.

Ravedome

This is a cool map. A very big large net level that has a opening splash screen of "Let's Dance". From this point on you will be really inspired to start making maps. The visual design of this map is excellent and you will really feel like you are in a techno-club. You can try this one solo but even with eight it is going to take some patience. Along with the theme of the map the "dash" sound patch fits right in, and it fits very well. The whole map is built on a techno-rave dance club theme and the extras that you get are gr...

The Collective 1.3

A pretty good three level solo scenario. The first level will tax you and don't feel alone if you find yourself standing in the beginning room scratching your head. We've been there too. The second level has some good tricks in it. This update fixes a major smear when the "flood" happens. The third level is lava based. Save everywhere you can, you'll need it. Some tightness at times and some homogeneous textures in some areas, but not bad when you consider the tricks that are added into the second level. The pfhor fighters come in a different color-worth the download.

The Wishin' Well

A medium sized net level with some very good detail work. Four elevated towers (platforms) are your reward for going down into the well. EMFH would be best for this one. Some nice visual ideas. Check out the textures on the stairs.

Everybody Samba!!!

Everybody Samba!!! consists of two medium sized arenas with a couple of smaller side rooms. One of the arenas contains a raised tower as the hill. Ammo was initially tight, but in the previous update it was more evenly distributed - it's still fun trying to get to the heavy stuff in the Exploda-BoB room while watching your back for other players. This version changes the level to the Jjarro texture set and adds sounds.

Dead Meat Walking

A single level solo map that is quite linear at times, or at least it felt that way. This author is off to a good start here, some very large rooms with alot of space for more detail maybe in the future. (hint) Check everything at the very beginning, there is a way out. Some monsters needed different tags, they were great target practice though.

Let's Go Blow Up Daddy v. 1.1

A very good large pfhor net map. A center hub that acts as the hill and 4 spokes that connect to it. The spokes connect to a outer ring that is on a lower level surrounding the hub.

Marathon Spoiler Guide v3.0

Text document that will help you out if you are stuck in any level of Marathon 1 or Marathon 2. An online version, slightly newer (3.1, from August 97), can be found here.

Dance Hits

A large net level that consists of three square/rectangular rooms. Many sniper perches that are accessed by player controlled switches. Triple powerups are located three times in this level, but don't stay there too long... One secret where the aliens will win eventually. The read me gives a suggested strategy.
